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-2008-1434 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Office. 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-2008-1434/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1434/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-1434","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1434/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-1434","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j85m-h9w4-pm29"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office Word","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a malicious HTML document with excessive CSS selectors in Microsoft Word.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office_compatibility_pack_for_word_excel_ppt_2007","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"word_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-399","name":null}],"description":"Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Word in Office 2000 and XP SP3, 2003 SP2 and SP3, and 2007 Office System SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTML document with a large number of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) selectors, related to a \"memory handling error\" that triggers memory corruption.","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":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1434","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:office","products":["microsoft:office","microsoft:word_viewer"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1435"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2008-1433"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-05-13","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2018-0798","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-01-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Uninitialized Memory Use","id":"CVE-2015-1770","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Word Malformed Object Pointer","id":"CVE-2006-2492","kev_date_added":"2022-06-08","published":"2006-05-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2018-0802","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-01-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-11882","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-11-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-8570","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2017-0261","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2017-05-12"}],"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":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 HTML document with excessive CSS selectors in Microsoft Word.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1434/"}
