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-2018-8346 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-2018-8346/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8346/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-8346","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8346/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-8346","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-28mr-3phc-39gr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Windows","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into processing a malicious .LNK file on affected Windows systems.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","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-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows that could allow remote code execution if a .LNK file is processed, aka \"LNK Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.\" This affects Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2.
