An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2006-2492 in the wild since at least 8 Jun 2022.\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-2006-2492/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2492/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-2492","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2492/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-2492","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pvcc-qqxr-p978"],"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":"User-assisted attackers can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in Microsoft Word triggered by a malformed object pointer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"office","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"works_suite","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"Buffer overflow in Microsoft Word in Office 2000 SP3, Office XP SP3, Office 2003 Sp1 and SP2, and Microsoft Works Suites through 2006, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed object pointer, as originally reported by ISC on 20060519 for a zero-day attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Word Malformed Object Pointer","id":"CVE-2006-2492","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-06-08","dueDate":"2022-06-22","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Word","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Word Malformed Object Pointer Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:office","products":["microsoft:office"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":17,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2494"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-2491"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-05-20","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":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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-22","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"User-assisted attackers can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in Microsoft Word triggered by a malformed object pointer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-2492/"}
