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-2017-8464 in the wild since at least 10 Feb 2022.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 1607. 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-2017-8464/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8464/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8464","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8464/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8464","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v5x6-r6hp-xgpc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Shell","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into viewing a crafted shortcut file icon in Windows Explorer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_1511","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1607","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1703","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"}],"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":"Windows Shell in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allows local users or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .LNK file, which is not properly handled during icon display in Windows Explorer or any other application that parses the icon of the shortcut. aka \"LNK Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2016-02-24","github_poc":9,"max_poc_stars":67,"metasploit":2,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-08-02T02:14:37Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/3gstudent/CVE-2017-8464-EXP","stars":67,"title":"Support x86 and x64"},{"date":"2017-08-07T11:56:11Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/doudouhala/CVE-2017-8464-exp-generator","stars":8,"title":"this tool can generate a exp for cve-2017-8486, it is developed by python"},{"date":"2022-06-08T01:39:48Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/TrG-1999/DetectPacket-CVE-2017-8464","stars":3,"title":"Exploit vulnerabilities and vulnerability prevention implementation"},{"date":"2016-02-24T17:36:29Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Elm0D/CVE-2017-8464","stars":1,"title":null},{"date":"2018-04-20T09:01:03Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/xssfile/CVE-2017-8464-EXP","stars":1,"title":null},{"date":"2017-06-13","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/fileformat/cve_2017_8464_lnk_rce","stars":null,"title":"LNK Code Execution Vulnerability"},{"date":"2017-06-13","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/local/cve_2017_8464_lnk_lpe","stars":null,"title":"LNK Code Execution Vulnerability"},{"date":"2017-07-26","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"42382","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows -
