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-2008-4256 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2008-4256/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4256/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4256","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4256/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4256","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pg8f-wfqr-44ph"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Visual Basic ActiveX","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via crafted HTML documents exploiting memory corruption in the Charts ActiveX control.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office_frontpage","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"project","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visual_basic","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visual_foxpro","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"visual_studio_.net","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"The Charts ActiveX control in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Visual Studio .NET 2002 SP1 and 2003 SP1, and Visual FoxPro 8.0 SP1 and 9.0 SP1 and SP2 does not properly handle errors during access to incorrectly initialized objects, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document, related to corruption of the \"system state,\" aka \"Charts Control Memory Corruption 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-2008-4256","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2008-4257"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4255"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4255","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-10"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4252","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-10"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4253","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-10"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-10"}],"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 via crafted HTML documents exploiting memory corruption in the Charts ActiveX control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4256/"}
