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-2014-8583 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2014-8583/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-8583/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-8583","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-8583/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-8583","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2014-8583","GHSA-6mwv-34hq-6gqx","MGASA-2014-0513","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-8583","USN-2431-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache mod_wsgi module","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain privileges via unspecified vectors when mod_wsgi fails to drop group privileges during daemon process creation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mod_wsgi","vendor":"modwsgi"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-254","name":null}],"description":"mod_wsgi before 4.2.4 for Apache, when creating a daemon process group, does not properly handle when group privileges cannot be dropped, which might allow attackers to gain privileges 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":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8583","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8584"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8582"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-12-16","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Use after free in mod wsgi","id":"CVE-2014-0242","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-09"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0240","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-05-27"}],"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":"Attackers can gain privileges via unspecified vectors when mod_wsgi fails to drop group privileges during daemon process creation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-8583/"}
