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-2014-6356 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2014-6356/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6356/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-6356","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6356/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-6356","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xhc3-g335-68h3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a crafted Microsoft Office document.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office_compatibility_pack","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"word","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":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Array index error in Microsoft Word 2007 SP3, Word 2010 SP2, and Office Compatibility Pack SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Office document, aka \"Invalid Index Remote Code Execution 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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6356","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:office_compatibility_pack","products":["microsoft:office_compatibility_pack","microsoft:word"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6357"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6355"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-12-11","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":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Word Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2012-2539","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2012-12-12"},{"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-2014-6333","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":"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 execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a crafted Microsoft Office document.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6356/"}
