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-2014-4077 in the wild since at least 25 May 2022.\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-2014-4077/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4077/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-4077","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4077/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-4077","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5rf9-j2cv-922c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Windows OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass sandbox protections via crafted PDFs when Japanese IME is installed, requiring OS patching.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office_2007_ime","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2003","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_vista","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":[],"description":"Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, and Office 2007 SP3, when IMJPDCT.EXE (aka IME for Japanese) is installed, allow remote attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via a crafted PDF document, aka \"Microsoft IME (Japanese) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability,\" as exploited in the wild in 2014.","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 IME Japanese Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2014-4077","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-05-25","dueDate":"2022-06-15","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Input Method Editor (IME) Japanese","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft IME Japanese Privilege Escalation Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_7","products":["microsoft:windows_7","microsoft:windows_server_2003","microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_vista"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4078"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4076"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-11-11","related":[],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-22","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass sandbox protections via crafted PDFs when Japanese IME is installed, requiring OS patching.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-4077/"}
