An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2014-9016 exists.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2014-9016/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9016/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-9016","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9016/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-9016","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cfc7-w9hw-779w","UBUNTU-CVE-2014-9016"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Drupal CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service via CPU and memory exhaustion in Drupal's password hashing API.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"drupal","vendor":"drupal"},{"product":"secure_passwords_hashes","vendor":"secure_password_hashes_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The password hashing API in Drupal 7.x before 7.34 and the Secure Password Hashes (aka phpass) module 6.x-2.x before 6.x-2.1 for Drupal allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via a crafted request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2014-11-20","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":13,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2014-12-01T14:16:17Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/c0r3dump3d/wp_drupal_timing_attack","stars":13,"title":"Python scripts to exploit CVE-2014-9016 and CVE-2014-9034"},{"date":"2020-02-08T15:19:42Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Primus27/WordPress-Long-Password-Denial-of-Service","stars":1,"title":"Exhaust WordPress \u003cV5.0.1 resources using long passwords (CVE-2014-9016)"},{"date":"2014-11-20","kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/dos/http/wordpress_long_password_dos","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Long Password DoS"},{"date":"2014-12-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"35415","stars":null,"title":"Drupal \u003c 7.34 - Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9016","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","drupal:drupal"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9017"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9015"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-11-24","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service via CPU and memory exhaustion in Drupal's password hashing API.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9016/"}
