An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2015-2424 in the wild since at least 3 Mar 2022.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Excel Viewer. 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-2015-2424/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2424/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-2424","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2424/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-2424","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rvvj-j63r-j9x4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Office","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted Office documents in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"excel_viewer","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office_compatibility_pack","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"powerpoint","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"word","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"word_viewer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/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 PowerPoint 2007 SP3, Word 2007 SP3, PowerPoint 2010 SP2, Word 2010 SP2, PowerPoint 2013 SP1, Word 2013 SP1, and PowerPoint 2013 RT SP1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted Office 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 PowerPoint Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2424","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-03-03","dueDate":"2022-03-24","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"PowerPoint","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft PowerPoint Memory Corruption Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:excel_viewer","products":["microsoft:excel_viewer","microsoft:office","microsoft:office_compatibility_pack","microsoft:powerpoint","microsoft:word","microsoft:word_viewer"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2425"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2423"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-07-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft MSHTML Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2019-0541","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-01-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Graphics Component Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2013-3906","kev_date_added":"2022-02-15","published":"2013-11-06"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0113","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-03-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Microsoft Excel Viewer","id":"CVE-2018-8432","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-10"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Microsoft Excel Viewer","id":"CVE-2019-0540","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-06"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in Microsoft Excel Viewer","id":"CVE-2018-8427","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-10"}],"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 or cause denial of service via crafted Office documents in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2424/"}
