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-2008-3477 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Internet Explorer. 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-2008-3477/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3477/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3477","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3477/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3477","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xpwf-6m43-7f68"],"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 a malicious embedded object.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"internet_explorer","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":"Microsoft Excel 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, and 2003 SP2 and SP3 does not properly validate data in the VBA Performance Cache when processing an Office document with an embedded object, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an Excel file containing a crafted value, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, integer overflows, array index errors, and memory corruption, aka \"Calendar Object Validation Vulnerability.\"","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3477","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:internet_explorer","products":["microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2008-3478"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3476"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2014-1776","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-04-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-27085","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-0222","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-0210","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-04-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-0149","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-03-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2502","kev_date_added":"2022-04-13","published":"2015-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2419","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-14"}],"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":"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 crafted Excel file with a malicious embedded object.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3477/"}
