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-2017-8488 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-2017-8488/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8488/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8488","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8488/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8488","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qwrx-c2h9-rm2q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","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 obtain sensitive information from the Windows kernel via a specially crafted application.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"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"}],"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":"The kernel in Microsoft 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, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allows an authenticated attacker to obtain information via a specially crafted application. aka \"Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability,\" a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-8492, CVE-2017-8491, CVE-2017-8490, CVE-2017-8489, CVE-2017-8485, CVE-2017-8483, CVE-2017-8482, CVE-2017-8480, CVE-2017-8479, CVE-2017-8478, CVE-2017-8476, CVE-2017-8474, CVE-2017-8469, CVE-2017-8462, CVE-2017-0300, CVE-2017-0299, and CVE-2017-0297.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-06-21","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-06-21","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"42212","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows - 'IOCTL_MOUNTMGR_QUERY_POINTS' Kernel Mountmgr Pool Memory Disclosure"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows","id":"CVE-2017-8488","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_7","products":["microsoft:windows_7","microsoft:windows_8.1","microsoft:windows_rt_8.1","microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_server_2012"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows","id":"CVE-2017-8489"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in Microsoft Windows","id":"CVE-2017-8487"},"products":["Microsoft Windows"],"published":"2017-06-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft HTTP.sys Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-1635","kev_date_added":"2022-02-10","published":"2015-04-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Win32k Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-2360","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2015-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2014-6324","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2014-11-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Object Linking \u0026 Embedding (OLE) Automation Array Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-6332","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2014-11-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-4148","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2014-10-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Group Policy Preferences Password Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2014-1812","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2014-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2013-3918","kev_date_added":"2025-10-06","published":"2013-11-12"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Microsoft Corporation"]},"summary":"An authenticated attacker can obtain sensitive information from the Windows kernel via a specially crafted application.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8488/"}
