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-2008-3068 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2008-3068/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3068/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3068","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3068/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3068","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h5rm-gc4m-cp24"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Crypto API","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can disclose recipient IP addresses and reading times via crafted certificates in S/MIME emails or signed documents.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"access","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"excel","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"frontpage","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"groove","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"infopath","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office_communicator","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"onenote","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"outlook","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"powerpoint","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"project_professional","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"project_standard","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"publisher","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"sharepoint_designer","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visio_professional","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visio_standard","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_live_mail","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Microsoft Crypto API 5.131.2600.2180 through 6.0, as used in Outlook, Windows Live Mail, and Office 2007, performs Certificate Revocation List (CRL) checks by using an arbitrary URL from a certificate embedded in a (1) S/MIME e-mail message or (2) signed document, which allows remote attackers to obtain reading times and IP addresses of recipients, and port-scan results, via a crafted certificate with an Authority Information Access (AIA) extension.","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":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3068","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:excel","products":["microsoft:excel","microsoft:office","microsoft:outlook","microsoft:powerpoint"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":14,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3069"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3067"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-07-07","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Excel Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2007-0671","kev_date_added":"2025-08-12","published":"2007-02-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0788","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2503","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-11-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3155","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3156","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3157","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0814","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-07-14"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can disclose recipient IP addresses and reading times via crafted certificates in S/MIME emails or signed documents.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3068/"}
