An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2007-4254 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Visual Studio. 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-2007-4254/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4254/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-4254","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4254/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-4254","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8hx5-8mhr-hxfm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Visual Studio Database Designer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a stack-based buffer overflow in the Visual Database Tools ActiveX control, requiring user interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"visual_database_tools_database_designer","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visual_studio","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Stack-based buffer overflow in a certain ActiveX control in VDT70.DLL in Microsoft Visual Database Tools Database Designer 7.0 for Microsoft Visual Studio 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the NotSafe method.
