An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-2730 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Office. 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-2014-2730/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2730/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-2730","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2730/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-2730","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9c28-2wjp-xr55"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service in Microsoft Office via crafted XML documents with nested entity references, requiring user interaction to open the file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"office","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"The XML parser in Microsoft Office 2007 SP3, 2010 SP1 and SP2, and 2013, and Office for Mac 2011, does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and persistent application hang) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, as demonstrated by a crafted text/plain e-mail message to Outlook, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.","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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2730","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:office","products":["microsoft:office"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2731"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2729"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-04-05","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2018-0798","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-01-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Uninitialized Memory Use","id":"CVE-2015-1770","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Word Malformed Object Pointer","id":"CVE-2006-2492","kev_date_added":"2022-06-08","published":"2006-05-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2018-0802","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-01-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-11882","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-11-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-8570","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2017-0261","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2017-05-12"}],"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":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service in Microsoft Office via crafted XML documents with nested entity references, requiring user interaction to open the file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-2730/"}
