It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2011-1975 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 7. 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-2011-1975/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-1975/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-1975","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-1975/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-1975","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5r5x-2r9f-h4ph"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Data Access Components","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges via a malicious DLL in the working directory when opening Excel files in Windows Data Access Components.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","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":[],"description":"Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Data Access Tracing component in Windows Data Access Components (Windows DAC) 6.0 in Microsoft Windows 7 Gold and SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and R2 SP1 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains an Excel .xlsx file, aka \"Data Access Components Insecure Library Loading 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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1975","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_7","products":["microsoft:windows_7","microsoft:windows_server_2008"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2011"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1976"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1974"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-08-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft HTTP.sys Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-1635","kev_date_added":"2022-02-10","published":"2015-04-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Win32k Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-2360","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2015-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2014-6324","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2014-11-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Object Linking \u0026 Embedding (OLE) Automation Array Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-6332","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2014-11-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-4148","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2014-10-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Group Policy Preferences Password Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2014-1812","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2014-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2013-3918","kev_date_added":"2025-10-06","published":"2013-11-12"}],"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":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges via a malicious DLL in the working directory when opening Excel files in Windows Data Access Components.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-1975/"}
