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-2006-2388 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2006-2388/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2388/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-2388","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2388/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-2388","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q32c-ggqm-f5q7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office Excel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening Excel files with malformed cell comments, affecting Microsoft Office Excel.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"excel","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"excel_viewer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Microsoft Office Excel 2000 through 2004 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed cell comments, which lead to modification of \"critical data offsets\" during the rebuilding process.","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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2388","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:excel","products":["microsoft:excel","microsoft:excel_viewer"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2389"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2387"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-07-13","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":"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":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening Excel files with malformed cell comments, affecting Microsoft Office Excel.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2388/"}
