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-2013-2551 in the wild since at least 28 Mar 2022, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Internet Explorer. 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-2013-2551/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-2551/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-2551","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-2551/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-2551","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m5j6-8c2h-w4h7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Internet Explorer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a crafted website exploiting a use-after-free flaw in Internet Explorer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"internet_explorer","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-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 10 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that triggers access to a deleted object, as demonstrated by VUPEN during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2013, aka \"Internet Explorer Use After Free Vulnerability,\" a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-1308 and CVE-2013-1309.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2013-03-06","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2013-03-06","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/browser/ms13_037_svg_dashstyle","stars":null,"title":"MS13-037 Microsoft Internet Explorer COALineDashStyleArray Integer Overflow"},{"date":"2013-06-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"26175","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Internet Explorer - COALineDashStyleArray Integer Overflow (MS13-009) (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2013-2551","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-03-28","dueDate":"2022-04-18","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Known","product":"Internet Explorer","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Use-After-Free Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:internet_explorer","products":["microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2013"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2552"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-2550"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-03-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2014-1776","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-04-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-27085","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-0222","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-0210","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-04-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-0149","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-03-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2502","kev_date_added":"2022-04-13","published":"2015-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2419","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-14"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-22","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a crafted website exploiting a use-after-free flaw in Internet Explorer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-2551/"}
