An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2009-0556 in the wild since at least 7 Jan 2026.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Powerpoint. 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-2009-0556/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-0556/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-0556","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-0556/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-0556","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w25v-2mf8-86hr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office PowerPoint","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a malicious PowerPoint file exploiting memory corruption in Microsoft Office PowerPoint.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office_powerpoint","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"powerpoint","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, and 2003 SP3, and PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PowerPoint file with an OutlineTextRefAtom containing an an invalid index value that triggers memory corruption, as exploited in the wild in April 2009 by Exploit:Win32/Apptom.gen, aka \"Memory Corruption Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Office PowerPoint Code Injection","id":"CVE-2009-0556","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2026-01-07","dueDate":"2026-01-28","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Office","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Office PowerPoint Code Injection Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:powerpoint","products":["microsoft:powerpoint"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":18,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft Office Object Record Corruption","id":"CVE-2009-0557"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0555"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-04-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0202","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-06-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the PowerPoint 4.0 importer (PP4X32.DLL) in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, and 200","id":"CVE-2009-0220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0221","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0222","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0223","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0225","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-12"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-01-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a malicious PowerPoint file exploiting memory corruption in Microsoft Office PowerPoint.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-0556/"}
