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-2008-2463 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2008-2463/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2463/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-2463","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2463/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-2463","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-frx4-jc3x-7q59"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office Snapshot Viewer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening crafted documents that exploit the Snapshot Viewer ActiveX control to write files to startup folders.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"office_snapshot_viewer_activex","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":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The Microsoft Office Snapshot Viewer ActiveX control in snapview.ocx 10.0.5529.0, as distributed in the standalone Snapshot Viewer and Microsoft Office Access 2000 through 2003, allows remote attackers to download arbitrary files to a client machine via a crafted HTML document or e-mail message, probably involving use of the SnapshotPath and CompressedPath properties and the PrintSnapshot method.
