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: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2012-2539 in the wild since at least 28 Mar 2022.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack. 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-2012-2539/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2539/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-2539","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2539/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-2539","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x5wq-5f2r-gxw5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Word","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted RTF data in Microsoft Word and related Office components.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office_compatibility_pack","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office_web_apps","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office_word_viewer","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"sharepoint_server","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"word","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"Microsoft Word 2003 SP3, 2007 SP2 and SP3, and 2010 SP1; Word Viewer; Office Compatibility Pack SP2 and SP3; and Office Web Apps 2010 SP1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted RTF data, aka \"Word RTF 'listoverridecount' Remote Code Execution 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 Word Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2012-2539","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-03-28","dueDate":"2022-04-18","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Word","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Word Remote Code Execution Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:office_compatibility_pack","products":["microsoft:office_compatibility_pack","microsoft:office_web_apps","microsoft:sharepoint_server","microsoft:word"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2012-2540"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2012-2538"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-12-12","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-11826","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2017-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1759","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-06-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1651","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-04-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6356","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6333","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-11-11"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6334","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-11-11"}],"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":"2025-10-22","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted RTF data in Microsoft Word and related Office components.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2539/"}
