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-2018-25215 exists.\n\nAffected product: Recoverlostpassword Excel Password Recovery Professional. 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-2018-25215/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-25215/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-25215","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-25215/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-25215","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xfcq-73qm-28cr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Excel Password Recovery","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service in Excel Password Recovery Professional by pasting a long string into the registration field.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"excel_password_recovery","vendor":"passfab"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"Excel Password Recovery Professional 8.2.0.0 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to cause a denial of service by supplying an excessively long string to the 'E-Mail and Registrations Code' field.
