An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-1474 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Powerpoint. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1474/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1474/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1474","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1474/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1474","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-842r-9c3w-jrvj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft PowerPoint","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can force automatic execution of applications via PowerPoint documents opened in browsers without user prompting.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"powerpoint","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"PowerPoint 95 and 97 allows remote attackers to cause an application to be run automatically without prompting the user, possibly through the slide show, when the document is opened in browsers such as Internet Explorer.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1474","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:powerpoint","products":["microsoft:powerpoint"],"type":"other","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1475"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1473"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft PowerPoint Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2010-2572","kev_date_added":"2022-06-08","published":"2010-11-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3396","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-12-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1270","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-05-13"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0976","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-02-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3141","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3142","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0029","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-02-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can force automatic execution of applications via PowerPoint documents opened in browsers without user prompting.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1474/"}
