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: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2017-8472 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 7. 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-2017-8472/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8472/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8472","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8472/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8472","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9qrx-7rxg-3jpq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can exploit improper memory initialization in the Windows kernel to disclose sensitive information.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, and Windows Server 2012 allow an authenticated attacker to run a specially crafted application when the Windows kernel improperly initializes objects in memory, aka \"Win32k Information Disclosure Vulnerability\".
