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-2015-1642 in the wild since at least 3 Mar 2022.\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-2015-1642/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1642/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-1642","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-1642/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-1642","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f9w6-fcw4-8qmv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","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":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office","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":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"Microsoft Office 2007 SP3, 2010 SP2, and 2013 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted document, aka \"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability.\"","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 Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-1642","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-03-03","dueDate":"2022-03-24","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Office","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:office","products":["microsoft:office"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1643"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Office Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-1641"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-08-15","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":"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","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-2015-1642/"}
