CVE-2014-0531· NVD / CVE Program· CNA adobe

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.223 and 14.x before 14.0.0.125 on Windows and OS X and before 1

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 18/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 89.5% of all records.
  • Fixed version: flash-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:5::client) 0:11.2.202.378-1.el5; flash-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:6) 0:11.2.202.378-1.el6.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to flash-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:5::client) 0:11.2.202.378-1.el5; flash-plugin (Red Hat:rhel_extras:6) 0:11.2.202.378-1.el6 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.223 and 14.x before 14.0.0.125 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.378 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 14.0.0.110, Adobe AIR SDK before 14.0.0.110, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 14.0.0.110 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-0532 and CVE-2014-0533.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

EPSS, last 120 days

FIRST EPSS daily score; only changes of 0.01 or more are recorded (step chart).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
