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-2018-0824 in the wild since at least 5 Aug 2024.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 1507. 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-2018-0824/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0824/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-0824","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0824/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-0824","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6w8g-777w-9mcc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows COM","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by exploiting improper handling of serialized objects in Microsoft COM for Windows.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_1507","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1607","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1703","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1709","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1803","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_rt_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_1709","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_1803","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"A remote code execution vulnerability exists in \"Microsoft COM for Windows\" when it fails to properly handle serialized objects, aka \"Microsoft COM for Windows Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.\" This affects Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 10, Windows 10 Servers.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-06-15","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":88,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-06-15T08:59:37Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/codewhitesec/UnmarshalPwn","stars":88,"title":"POC for CVE-2018-0824"},{"date":"2018-06-18","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44906","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft COM for Windows -
