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: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2005-4131 exists.\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-2005-4131/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-4131/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-4131","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-4131/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-4131","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hm75-8hcq-5577"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Excel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"User-assisted attackers can execute arbitrary code via a malformed Excel file causing memory corruption in Microsoft Excel.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"excel","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, and 2003, in Microsoft Office 2000 SP3 and other packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel file with a malformed range, which could lead to memory corruption involving an argument to the msvcrt.memmove function, aka \"Brand new Microsoft Excel Vulnerability,\" as originally placed for sale on eBay as item number 7203336538.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2005-12-08","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2005-12-08","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"26769","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Excel 95/97/2000/2002/2003/2004 - Malformed Range Memory Corruption"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4131","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:excel","products":["microsoft:excel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2005"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":25,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4132"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4130"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-12-09","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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"User-assisted attackers can execute arbitrary code via a malformed Excel file causing memory corruption in Microsoft Excel.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-4131/"}
