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-2014-6361 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Excel. 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-2014-6361/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6361/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-6361","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6361/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-6361","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mw2x-vrf6-rqfv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Excel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a crafted Microsoft Excel document.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"excel","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office_compatibility_pack","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":"Microsoft Excel 2007 SP3, Excel 2010 SP2, Excel 2013 Gold and SP1, Excel 2013 RT Gold and SP1, and Office Compatibility Pack allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Office document, aka \"Excel Invalid Pointer 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-2014-6361","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:excel","products":["microsoft:excel","microsoft:office_compatibility_pack"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2014"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6362"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6360"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-12-11","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2019-1297","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2019-09-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2009-0238","kev_date_added":"2026-04-14","published":"2009-02-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Office Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2016-7262","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2016-12-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Excel Featheader Record Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2009-3129","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2009-11-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0081","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-01-16"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6040","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-09"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-12-09"}],"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 Excel document.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-6361/"}
