It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2017-11937 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2017-11937 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Malware Protection Engine, published on 7 Dec 2017. 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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-11937 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Malware Protection Engine. 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-2017-11937/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11937/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-11937","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11937/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-11937","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pp2v-f23g-qjhq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Defender Engine","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted file to the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"malware_protection_engine","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The Microsoft Malware Protection Engine running on Microsoft Forefront and Microsoft Defender on Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703, 1709 and Windows Server 2016, Windows Server, version 1709, Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and 2016, does not properly scan a specially crafted file leading to remote code execution. aka \"Microsoft Malware Protection Engine 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":"Memory corruption in Microsoft Malware Protection Engine","id":"CVE-2017-11937","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Microsoft Office","id":"CVE-2017-11939"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Microsoft SharePoint","id":"CVE-2017-11936"},"products":["Microsoft Malware Protection Engine"],"published":"2017-12-07","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Defender Link Following","id":"CVE-2026-41091","kev_date_added":"2026-05-20","published":"2026-05-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1346","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-05-15"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Microsoft Defender Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-45584","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Defender Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-69414","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Defender Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-55011","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Defender Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-55012","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Defender Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-50656","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-16"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Microsoft Corporation"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted file to the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11937/"}
