An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-0855 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-2018-0855/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0855/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-0855","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0855/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-0855","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-55x2-q2h9-grgv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows EOT font engine","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exploit the Windows EOT font engine to disclose sensitive information, requiring a security patch for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.","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"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The Microsoft Windows Embedded OpenType (EOT) font engine in Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 allows information disclosure, due to how the Windows EOT font engine handles embedded fonts, aka \"Windows EOT Font Engine Information Disclosure Vulnerability\".
