It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-14979 exists.\n\nAffected product: AirVPN Eddie. 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-2025-14979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-14979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14979/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-14979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6mh8-wgv9-q5c9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VPN client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to root via an insecure XPC service in the Eddie VPN client on macOS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Fluid Attacks","cpe":[{"product":"eddie","vendor":"airvpn"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"AirVPN Eddie on MacOS contains an insecure XPC service that allows local, unprivileged users to escalate their privileges to root.This issue affects Eddie: 2.24.6.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Eddie VPN 2.24.6 - Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-14979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"BetterDocs \u003c= 4.3.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Sensitive Information Exposure","id":"CVE-2025-14980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in PeachPay — Payments \u0026 Express Checkout for WooCommerce (supports Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.net, NMI)","id":"CVE-2025-14978"},"products":["Eddie"],"published":"2026-01-06","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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-03-03","vendors":["AirVPN"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to root via an insecure XPC service in the Eddie VPN client on macOS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14979/"}
