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-2008-0117 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Excel. 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-2008-0117/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0117/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-0117","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0117/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-0117","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gm8c-33px-8qfq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Excel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a crafted Excel file with malicious conditional formatting.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"compatibility_pack_word_excel_powerpoint_2007","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"excel","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"excel_viewer","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office","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":[],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Excel 2000 SP3 and 2002 SP2, and Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted conditional formatting values, aka \"Excel Conditional Formatting Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-03-21","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-03-21","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"5287","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Excel - Code Execution (MS08-014)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0117","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:excel","products":["microsoft:excel","microsoft:excel_viewer","microsoft:office"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0118"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0116"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-03-11","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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a crafted Excel file with malicious conditional formatting.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0117/"}
