## What is CVE-2014-9201?

CVE-2014-9201 is a medium-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 5 Jun 2015. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Beckwith Electric M-6200 Digital Voltage Regulator Control with firmware before D-0198V04.07.00, M-6200A Digital Voltage Regulator Control with firmware before D-0228V02.01.07, M-2001D Digital Tapchanger Control with firmware before D-0214V01.10.04, M-6283A Three Phase Digital Capacitor Bank Control with firmware before D-0346V03.00.02, M-6280A Digital Capacitor Bank Control with firmware before D-0254V03.05.05, and M-6280 Digital Capacitor Bank Control do not properly generate TCP initial sequence number (ISN) values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof TCP sessions by predicting an ISN value.

Weakness: CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation)

Check this codebase for CVE-2014-9201 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2014-9201 is a medium-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 5 Jun 2015. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-9201 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
