CVE-2015-4334
CWE-200Published: December 7, 2015· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
The default configuration of SGOS in Blue Coat ProxySG before 6.2.16.5, 6.5 before 6.5.7.1, and 6.6 before 6.6.2.1 forwards authentication challenges from upstream origin content servers (OCS) when used in an explicit proxy deployment, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a 407 (aka Proxy Authentication Required) HTTP status code, as demonstrated when using NTLM authentication.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2015-4334 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-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
