It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2007-0843 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 2000. 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-2007-0843/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0843/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-0843","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0843/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-0843","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gwhq-68gv-8x93"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can bypass file permissions to read sensitive metadata like filenames and access times via the ReadDirectoryChangesW API.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_2000","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_2003_server","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_vista","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The ReadDirectoryChangesW API function on Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista does not check permissions for child objects, which allows local users to bypass permissions by opening a directory with LIST (READ) access and using ReadDirectoryChangesW to monitor changes of files that do not have LIST permissions, which can be leveraged to determine filenames, access times, and other sensitive information.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2007-02-22","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":9,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2014-11-27T14:36:05Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/z3APA3A/spydir","stars":9,"title":"Spydir is a small utility to monitor file changes in Windows directory regardless of subdirectory and files permissions (exploits CVE-2007-0843)"},{"date":"2007-02-22","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"29630","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows XP/2003 - ReadDirectoryChangesW Information Disclosure"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0843","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_2000","products":["microsoft:windows_2000","microsoft:windows_2003_server","microsoft:windows_vista","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0844"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0842"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-02-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2008-4250","kev_date_added":"2026-05-20","published":"2008-10-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Kernel Exception Handler","id":"CVE-2010-0232","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2010-01-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2009-1123","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2009-06-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2002-0367","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2003-04-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-04-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0231","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-02-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3677","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-09"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can bypass file permissions to read sensitive metadata like filenames and access times via the ReadDirectoryChangesW API.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-0843/"}
