Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-7879 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Hp Hp-Ux. 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-2014-7879/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-7879/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-7879","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-7879/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-7879","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-87cj-3v3f-qhcr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"HP-UX operating system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code on HP-UX systems using specific PAM configurations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hp","cpe":[{"product":"hp-ux","vendor":"hp"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"HP HP-UX B.11.11, B.11.23, and B.11.31, when the PAM configuration includes libpam_updbe, allows remote authenticated users to bypass authentication, and consequently execute arbitrary code, via unspecified vectors.","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":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7879","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"hp:hp-ux","products":["hp:hp-ux"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7880"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7878"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-12-10","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1668","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1662","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-01"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6425","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-12-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4241","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-08-08"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0915","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5558","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-10-27"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code on HP-UX systems using specific PAM configurations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-7879/"}
