How do I patch CVE-2014-3947?

No patch has shipped for CVE-2014-3947 yet — track the alex_kellner powermail advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.

How do I detect CVE-2014-3947 across my infrastructure?

Inventory every alex_kellner powermail deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for remote code execution at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.

How do I mitigate CVE-2014-3947 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2014-3947?

O3 detects and blocks CVE-2014-3947 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.

Is CVE-2014-3947 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2014-3947 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2014-3947?

CVE-2014-3947 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 2.3%, placing it in the 81th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2014-3947?

CVE-2014-3947 is classified as Code Injection (CWE-94). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

Which products and versions are affected by CVE-2014-3947?

CVE-2014-3947 affects alex_kellner powermail (11 versions, e.g. 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2…). Check the affected-products list on this page against your deployed version to confirm exposure.

When was CVE-2014-3947 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2014-3947 was published on October 3, 2014 and was last updated on June 17, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
