An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-9438 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vbulletin Vbulletin. 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-2014-9438/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9438/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-9438","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9438/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-9438","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vr3j-7c2h-gxfc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"vBulletin forum","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can hijack administrator sessions to ban users or modify content via CSRF in the Moderator Control Panel.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vbulletin","vendor":"vbulletin"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Moderator Control Panel in vBulletin 4.2.2 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) ban a user via the username parameter in a dobanuser action to modcp/banning.php or (2) unban a user, (3) modify user profiles, edit a (4) post or (5) topic, or approve a (6) post or (7) topic 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":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9438","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vbulletin:vbulletin","products":["vbulletin:vbulletin"],"type":"csrf","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9439"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9437"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-01-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"vBulletin PHP Module Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-17496","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"vBulletin PHP Module Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2019-16759","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-09-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"vBulletin 5.0.0 through 5.7.5 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.3 allows unauthenticated users to invoke protected API controllers' methods when running","id":"CVE-2025-48827","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-25135","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-7373","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12720","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-17132","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-04"}],"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":"Remote attackers can hijack administrator sessions to ban users or modify content via CSRF in the Moderator Control Panel.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-9438/"}
