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-2018-4038 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Talos Atlantis Word Processor. 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-2018-4038/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-4038/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-4038","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-4038/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-4038","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g3f8-q8cx-jm7w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Word Processor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted document in Atlantis Word Processor due to a memory corruption flaw.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"talos","cpe":[{"product":"atlantis_word_processor","vendor":"atlantiswordprocessor"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-131","name":"Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size"}],"description":"An exploitable arbitrary write vulnerability exists in the open document format parser of the Atlantis Word Processor, version 3.2.7.2, while trying to null-terminate a string. A specially crafted document can allow an attacker to pass an untrusted value as a length to a constructor. This constructor will miscalculate a length and then use it to calculate the position to write a null byte. This can allow an attacker to corrupt memory, which can result in code execution under the context of the application. An attacker must convince a victim to open a specially crafted document in order to trigger this 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":"Memory corruption in Atlantis Word Processor","id":"CVE-2018-4038","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Atlantis Word Processor","id":"CVE-2018-4039"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Clean My Mac","id":"CVE-2018-4037"},"products":["Atlantis Word Processor"],"published":"2018-12-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Atlantis Word Processor","id":"CVE-2018-3983","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Atlantis Word Processor","id":"CVE-2018-4039","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Null dereference in Atlantis Word Processor","id":"CVE-2018-4040","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Atlantis Word Processor","id":"CVE-2018-3978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Atlantis Word Processor","id":"CVE-2018-3982","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Atlantis Word Processor","id":"CVE-2018-3984","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-01"}],"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":["Talos"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted document in Atlantis Word Processor due to a memory corruption flaw.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-4038/"}
