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-2001-0718 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Excel. 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-2001-0718/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0718/index.md)","id":"CVE-2001-0718","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0718/index.md","name":"CVE-2001-0718","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7rm2-mhc5-4p95"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass macro restrictions in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint to execute arbitrary commands by modifying document data streams.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"excel","vendor":"microsoft"},{"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":"Vulnerability in (1) Microsoft Excel 2002 and earlier and (2) Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 and earlier allows attackers to bypass macro restrictions and execute arbitrary commands by modifying the data stream in the document.","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":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0718","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:excel","products":["microsoft:excel","microsoft:powerpoint"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2001"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0719"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0717"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-03-09","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2019-1297","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2019-09-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2009-0238","kev_date_added":"2026-04-14","published":"2009-02-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2016-7262","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2016-12-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Excel Featheader Record Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2009-3129","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2009-11-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0081","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-16"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6040","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-09"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-09"}],"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":"Attackers can bypass macro restrictions in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint to execute arbitrary commands by modifying document data streams.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0718/"}
