CWE-287Published: December 8, 2014· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
RSA Adaptive Authentication (On-Premise) 6.0.2.1 through 7.1 P3, when using device binding in a Challenge SOAP call or using the RSA Adaptive Authentication Integration Adapters with Out-of-Band Phone (Authentify) functionality, conducts permanent device binding even when authentication fails, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2014-4631 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
