CVE-2014-2581Network attack vector

Credential disclosure via cuid option

Published Jan 28, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Credential disclosure in Smb4K before 1.1.1 allows remote attackers to obtain credentials via the Additional options cuid line-edit input. The cuid option in that line edit processes attacker-controlled input in a way that exposes credentials, while public records do not disclose the exact unsafe operation. Exploitation requires network reachability to the Smb4K interface handling the option, and the bounded consequence is disclosure of credentials rather than documented modification or service interruption.
