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-2010-1885 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. 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-2010-1885/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-1885/index.md)","id":"CVE-2010-1885","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-1885/index.md","name":"CVE-2010-1885","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3qv5-55f8-3w6h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Help Center","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands by bypassing the trusted documents whitelist via a crafted hcp:// URL in Windows Help Center.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_2003_server","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2003","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","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-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"The MPC::HexToNum function in helpctr.exe in Microsoft Windows Help and Support Center in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 does not properly handle malformed escape sequences, which allows remote attackers to bypass the trusted documents whitelist (fromHCP option) and execute arbitrary commands via a crafted hcp:// URL, aka \"Help Center URL Validation Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2010-06-09","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2010-06-09","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/browser/ms10_042_helpctr_xss_cmd_exec","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Help Center XSS and Command Execution"},{"date":"2010-06-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"13808","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows Help Centre Handles - Malformed Escape Sequences Incorrectly (MS03-044)"},{"date":"2010-09-20","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16545","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Help Center - Cross-Site Scripting / Command Execution (MS10-042) (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1885","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_2003_server","products":["microsoft:windows_2003_server","microsoft:windows_server_2003","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2010"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":16,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1886"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2010-1884"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2010-06-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Video ActiveX Control Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2008-0015","kev_date_added":"2026-02-17","published":"2009-07-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Win32k Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-1701","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2015-04-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-5065","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2013-11-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1268","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1868","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0661","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-04-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-0654","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-02-16"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands by bypassing the trusted documents whitelist via a crafted hcp:// URL in Windows Help Center.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-1885/"}
