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-2003-0820 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-2003-0820/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0820/index.md)","id":"CVE-2003-0820","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0820/index.md","name":"CVE-2003-0820","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ggm6-m8r4-r7vh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in Microsoft Word and Works by exploiting improper length checks on macro names.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"word","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"works","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":"Microsoft Word 97, 98(J), 2000, and 2002, and Microsoft Works Suites 2001 through 2004, do not properly check the length of the \"Macro names\" data value, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow attack.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0820","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:word","products":["microsoft:word","microsoft:works"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2003"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0821"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0819"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2003-11-18","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0963","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-10-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0065","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-02-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-1758","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-08"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3891","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3892","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-05-15"}],"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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in Microsoft Word and Works by exploiting improper length checks on macro names.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0820/"}
