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-2008-0113 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Excel Viewer. 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-2008-0113/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0113/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-0113","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0113/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-0113","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fm88-xwm2-f8g5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Office Excel Viewer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a malicious Excel document with malformed cell comments in Office Excel Viewer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"excel_viewer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Office Excel Viewer 2003 up to SP3 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel document with malformed cell comments that trigger memory corruption from an \"allocation error,\" aka \"Microsoft Office Cell Parsing Memory Corruption Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-03-30","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-03-30","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"5320","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Office XP SP3 - '.PPT' File Buffer Overflow (MS08-016)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0113","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:excel_viewer","products":["microsoft:excel_viewer"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0114"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0112"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-03-11","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft MSHTML Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2019-0541","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-01-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft PowerPoint Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2424","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2015-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Graphics Component Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2013-3906","kev_date_added":"2022-02-15","published":"2013-11-06"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Microsoft Excel Viewer","id":"CVE-2018-8432","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-10"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Microsoft Excel Viewer","id":"CVE-2019-0540","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-06"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in Microsoft Excel Viewer","id":"CVE-2018-8427","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-10"}],"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"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a malicious Excel document with malformed cell comments in Office Excel Viewer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0113/"}
