An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2002-0974 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Xp. 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-2002-0974/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0974/index.md)","id":"CVE-2002-0974","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0974/index.md","name":"CVE-2002-0974","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x64m-q8q7-g22f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Help Center","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can delete arbitrary files on Windows XP systems by tricking users into clicking a malicious hcp: protocol link.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Help and Support Center for Windows XP allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a link to the hcp: protocol that accesses uplddrvinfo.htm.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2002-08-15","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2002-08-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21717","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows XP - HCP URI Handler Abuse"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0974","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_xp","products":["microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2002"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0975"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0973"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2004-09-01","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1852","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1853","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0119","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-01-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1946","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-04-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3595","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-11-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2289","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-08-04"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1313","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-02-13"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can delete arbitrary files on Windows XP systems by tricking users into clicking a malicious hcp: protocol link.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0974/"}
