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-2003-0228 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Media Player. 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-2003-0228/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0228/index.md)","id":"CVE-2003-0228","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0228/index.md","name":"CVE-2003-0228","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gq39-pwjr-jm43"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Media Player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a malicious skins file with encoded path traversal characters.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_media_player","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":"Directory traversal vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 and Windows Media Player for Windows XP allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a skins file with a URL containing hex-encoded backslash characters (%5C) that causes an executable to be placed in an arbitrary location.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2003-05-07","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2003-05-07","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"22570","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 - Skin File Code Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0228","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_media_player","products":["microsoft:windows_media_player"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2003"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0230"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0227"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2003-05-08","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3010","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1728","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-06-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2745","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2527","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-10-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1331","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-17"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2253","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0025","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-06-13"}],"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 execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a malicious skins file with encoded path traversal characters.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0228/"}
