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-2015-6038 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-2015-6038/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6038/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-6038","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6038/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-6038","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v7x7-r85c-ffcp"],"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":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"excel","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"excel_for_mac","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"excel_viewer","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office_compatibility_pack","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"sharepoint_server","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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Microsoft Excel 2007 SP3, Excel 2010 SP2, Excel 2013 SP1, Excel 2013 RT SP1, Excel 2016, Excel for Mac 2011, Excel 2016 for Mac, Office Compatibility Pack SP3, Excel Viewer, and Excel Services on SharePoint Server 2007 SP3, 2010 SP2, and 2013 SP1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code 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":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6038","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:excel","products":["microsoft:excel","microsoft:excel_viewer","microsoft:office_compatibility_pack","microsoft:sharepoint_server"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6039"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6037"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-11-11","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-2015-6038/"}
