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-2006-4138 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2006-4138/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4138/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-4138","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4138/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-4138","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-55jx-8j9g-2j9q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Help Viewer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening malicious HLP files in the Windows Help Viewer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"help_file_viewer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.6,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows Help File viewer (winhlp32.exe) allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HLP files.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2006-08-12","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-08-12","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"28381","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows XP/2000/2003 help - Multiple Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4138","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4139"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4137"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-08-14","related":[],"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":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening malicious HLP files in the Windows Help Viewer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4138/"}
