It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2000-0788 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Word. 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-2000-0788/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0788/index.md)","id":"CVE-2000-0788","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0788/index.md","name":"CVE-2000-0788","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h974-5hr9-px48"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Word","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary commands by tricking a user into opening a malicious Access database via Word's Mail Merge tool.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"access","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"word","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Mail Merge tool in Microsoft Word does not prompt the user before executing Visual Basic (VBA) scripts in an Access database, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.","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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0788","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:word","products":["microsoft:word"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2000"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0789"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0787"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-03-09","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Excel Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2007-0671","kev_date_added":"2025-08-12","published":"2007-02-03"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2503","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-11-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3155","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3156","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3157","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0814","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-07-14"}],"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":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary commands by tricking a user into opening a malicious Access database via Word's Mail Merge tool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0788/"}
