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: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2023-7101 in the wild since at least 2 Jan 2024.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- gdata (CRAN): affected from 2.16.1; fixed in 3.0.0\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-2023-7101/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-7101/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-7101","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-7101/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-7101","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2023-7101","DLA-3702-1","DSA-5592-1","GHSA-3c85-mx4x-435c","OESA-2025-2507","OESA-2025-2508","OESA-2025-2613","RSEC-2023-9","SUSE-SU-2024:0158-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-7101","USN-6781-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:13558-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl Excel parsing library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code by crafting a malicious Excel file with specific number format strings, affecting applications using this Perl module.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Mandiant","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"spreadsheet\\","vendor":"jmcnamara"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"},{"id":"CWE-95","name":"Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code"}],"description":"Spreadsheet::ParseExcel version 0.65 is a Perl module used for parsing Excel files.
