It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-7990 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Ios Xe. 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-2014-7990/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-7990/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-7990","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-7990/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-7990","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m25p-g3cf-hvcp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco IOS XE","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local administrators can escalate privileges to Linux root on Cisco IOS XE devices due to improper parsing of challenge responses.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"air-ct5760","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"ios_xe","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"ws-c3850","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"ws-c3860","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Cisco IOS XE 3.5E and earlier on WS-C3850, WS-C3860, and AIR-CT5760 devices does not properly parse the \"request system shell\" challenge response, which allows local users to obtain Linux root access by leveraging administrative privilege, aka Bug ID CSCur09815.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7990","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:ios_xe","products":["cisco:ios_xe"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7991"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7989"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-11-07","related":[],"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":"Local administrators can escalate privileges to Linux root on Cisco IOS XE devices due to improper parsing of challenge responses.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-7990/"}
