An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-5414 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Beckhoff Embedded PC Images. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5414/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5414/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-5414","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5414/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-5414","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jj96-ggr5-64rp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Beckhoff TwinCAT","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can brute-force authentication on Beckhoff TwinCAT components due to missing attempt limits, leading to unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"embedded_pc_images","vendor":"beckhoff"},{"product":"twincat","vendor":"beckhoff"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-254","name":null},{"id":"CWE-307","name":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts"}],"description":"Beckhoff Embedded PC images before 2014-10-22 and Automation Device Specification (ADS) TwinCAT components do not restrict the number of authentication attempts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Beckhoff Embedded PC Images and TwinCAT Components Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts","id":"CVE-2014-5414","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Beckhoff Embedded PC Images and TwinCAT Components Exposed Dangerous Method or Function","id":"CVE-2014-5415"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Schneider Electric SCADA Expert ClearSCADA Cryptographic Issues","id":"CVE-2014-5413"},"products":["Embedded PC Images","TwinCAT Components featuring Automation Device Specification (ADS) communication"],"published":"2016-10-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Beckhoff Embedded PC Images and TwinCAT Components Exposed Dangerous Method or Function","id":"CVE-2014-5415","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-11-04","vendors":["Beckhoff"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can brute-force authentication on Beckhoff TwinCAT components due to missing attempt limits, leading to unauthorized access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5414/"}
