It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2014-5453 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2014-5453/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5453/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-5453","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5453/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-5453","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8f4q-xwpq-7gxv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ubisoft Uplay PC","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by replacing files in the Ubisoft Uplay PC installation directory due to weak default permissions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"uplay_pc","vendor":"ubi"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Ubisoft Uplay PC before 4.6.1.3217 use weak permissions (Everyone: Full Control) for the program installation directory (%PROGRAMFILES%\\Ubisoft Game Launcher), which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2014-07-03","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2014-07-03","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"33961","stars":null,"title":"Ubisoft Uplay 4.6 - Insecure File Permissions Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-5453","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-5454"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-5452"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-08-25","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4177","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-07"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by replacing files in the Ubisoft Uplay PC installation directory due to weak default permissions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-5453/"}
