CVE-2014-2651
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUnify OpenStage/OpenScape Desk Phone IP SIP before V3 R3.11.0 has an authentication bypass in the default mode of the Workpoint Interface
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Unify OpenStage and OpenScape Desk Phone IP SIP devices running firmware versions before V3 R3.11.0 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the default mode of the Workpoint Interface, allowing unauthenticated attackers to potentially gain unauthorized access to the phone system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the phone modelCheck the physical device label, web interface, or admin menu to confirm the model is one of: OpenStage 20, OpenStage 20 E, OpenStage 40, OpenStage 40 G, OpenStage 60, OpenStage 60 G, OpenStage 80, or OpenStage 80 GAffected if The device model is any of the listed OpenStage models
-
Check the firmware versionAccess the phone's web interface or admin menu and locate the firmware version information. Look for a version string indicating V3 and compare it to V3 R3.11.0Affected if The firmware version is V3 but earlier than V3 R3.11.0 (including any V2 or earlier versions)
-
Verify Workpoint Interface configurationAccess the phone's admin web interface or configuration menu and locate the Workpoint Interface settings. Check whether it is enabled and in default modeAffected if The Workpoint Interface is enabled and operating in default mode
A user is affected if they have any of the listed OpenStage phone models running firmware V3 versions earlier than V3 R3.11.0 with the Workpoint Interface enabled in its default configuration, allowing unauthenticated access.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade the affected phone firmware to V3 R3.11.0 or later to remediate the authentication bypass. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider network segmentation and disabling the Workpoint Interface default mode if operationally acceptable.
V3 R3.11.0 or later
- Identify the exact current firmware version of the affected OpenStage phone by accessing the phone's web interface or admin menu
- Navigate to the official Unify support portal (networks.unify.com or assets.yourcircuit.com) and download the V3 R3.11.0 or later firmware for your specific OpenStage model
- Access the phone's administrative web interface and locate the firmware upgrade section
- Upload and apply the V3 R3.11.0 or later firmware file following the on-screen instructions
- Allow the phone to complete the firmware upgrade and reboot process
- Verify the new firmware version is V3 R3.11.0 or later in the phone's about/status section
- Confirm the Workpoint Interface authentication is now properly functioning
