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-2017-8710 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2017-8710/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8710/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8710","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8710/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8710","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v2hx-p2cq-5wm5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Common Console","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can read arbitrary files on Windows systems by exploiting an XML External Entity vulnerability in the Microsoft Common Console Document parser.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"The Microsoft Common Console Document (.msc) in Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1 allows an attacker to read arbitrary files via an XML external entity (XXE) declaration, due to the way that the Microsoft Common Console Document (.msc) parses XML input containing a reference to an external entity, aka \"Windows Information Disclosure 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":"XML external entity in Microsoft Common Console Document (.msc)","id":"CVE-2017-8710","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_7","products":["microsoft:windows_7","microsoft:windows_server_2008"],"type":"xxe","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Windows Hyper-V","id":"CVE-2017-8711"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Windows kernel","id":"CVE-2017-8709"},"products":["Microsoft Common Console Document (.msc)"],"published":"2017-09-13","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Microsoft Corporation"]},"summary":"An attacker can read arbitrary files on Windows systems by exploiting an XML External Entity vulnerability in the Microsoft Common Console Document parser.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8710/"}
