An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2007-4040 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Outlook. 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-2007-4040/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4040/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-4040","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4040/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-4040","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2mgm-7frw-wmjm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Outlook","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in URIs handled by Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"outlook","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"outlook_express","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-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Argument injection vulnerability involving Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, when certain URIs are registered, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-browser scripting attacks and execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an unspecified URI, which are inserted into the command line when invoking the handling process, a similar issue to CVE-2007-3670.","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":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4040","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:outlook","products":["microsoft:outlook"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4041"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4039"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-07-27","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Outlook Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2017-11774","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-10-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0538","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3870","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2728","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-09-15"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0266","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-07-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-1378","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-19"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in URIs handled by Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4040/"}
