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-2006-0008 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Office. 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-2006-0008/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-0008/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-0008","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-0008/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-0008","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wjg5-m2mm-fgxq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Korean IME","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by interacting with the Korean IME Shell About dialog, which launches Notepad with elevated rights.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_2003_server","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The ShellAbout API call in Korean Input Method Editor (IME) in Korean versions of Microsoft Windows XP SP1 and SP2, Windows Server 2003 up to SP1, and Office 2003, allows local users to gain privileges by launching the \"shell about dialog box\" and clicking the \"End-User License Agreement\" link, which executes Notepad with the privileges of the program that displays the about box.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0008","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:office","products":["microsoft:office","microsoft:windows_2003_server","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":14,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0009"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0007"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-02-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2018-0798","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-01-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Uninitialized Memory Use","id":"CVE-2015-1770","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Word Malformed Object Pointer","id":"CVE-2006-2492","kev_date_added":"2022-06-08","published":"2006-05-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2018-0802","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-01-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-11882","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-11-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-8570","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2017-0261","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2017-05-12"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by interacting with the Korean IME Shell About dialog, which launches Notepad with elevated rights.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-0008/"}
