CWE-264Published: May 16, 2014· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
7.9
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The server in Symantec Workspace Streaming (SWS) before 7.5.0.749 allows remote attackers to access files and functionality by sending a crafted XMLRPC request over HTTPS.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2014-1649 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2014-1649. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
