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-2016-7256 in the wild since at least 25 May 2022.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 1507. 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-2016-7256/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7256/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-7256","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7256/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-7256","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cx4j-72f6-rmxr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows font library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a crafted website exploiting the Windows font library, affecting multiple Windows versions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_1507","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1511","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1607","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_rt_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_vista","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":[],"description":"atmfd.dll in the Windows font library in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607, and Windows Server 2016 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site, aka \"Open Type Font Remote Code Execution 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 Windows Open Type Font Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2016-7256","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-05-25","dueDate":"2022-06-15","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Windows","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Windows Open Type Font Remote Code Execution Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10_1507","products":["microsoft:windows_10_1507","microsoft:windows_10_1607","microsoft:windows_7","microsoft:windows_8.1","microsoft:windows_rt_8.1","microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_server_2012","microsoft:windows_server_2016","microsoft:windows_vista"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7257"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Win32k Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2016-7255"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-11-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Search Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-8543","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-06-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows External Control of File Name or Path","id":"CVE-2025-33053","kev_date_added":"2025-06-10","published":"2025-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows SMB Client Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2025-33073","kev_date_added":"2025-10-20","published":"2025-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2024-49039","kev_date_added":"2024-11-12","published":"2024-11-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows MSHTML Platform Spoofing","id":"CVE-2024-43461","kev_date_added":"2024-09-16","published":"2024-09-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows MSHTML Platform Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2024-30040","kev_date_added":"2024-05-14","published":"2024-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows SmartScreen Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2023-36025","kev_date_added":"2023-11-14","published":"2023-11-14"}],"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":"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 via a crafted website exploiting the Windows font library, affecting multiple Windows versions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7256/"}
