FAQ

Questions about CVE-2014-6287

What does this mean?

The flaw lets a remote party run commands on the target system by using a %00 sequence to get past the macro filters, which allows a VBS script to be created and run.Source: github.com

Am I affected, and how do I check?

The 2.3 series of Rejetto HTTP File Server (HFS) is named as affected, and testing was done on HFS v2.3b. To check an installation, compare the HFS version number shown by the program against that series.Source: github.com

What should I do about it?

The checked facts do not name a fixed version, so no upgrade target can be given. Check the vendor's download or advisory pages for a newer release.Source: github.com

Is it being exploited?

Yes. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2022-03-25, which means it has evidence of attacks. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cisa.gov, cve.now feed data

What if there's no patch?

The checked facts do not describe a workaround. The flaw involves bypassing the macro filters, so the checked facts offer no filter-based mitigation.Source: github.com
