It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2018-25219 exists.\n\nAffected product: Passfab Excel Password Recovery. 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-2018-25219/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-25219/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-25219","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-25219/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-25219","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mv6v-v62w-gfh5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Excel Password Recovery","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in the registration fields of PassFab Excel Password Recovery.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"excel_password_recovery","vendor":"passfab"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"PassFab Excel Password Recovery 8.3.1 contains a structured exception handling buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying a malicious payload in the registration code field.
