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-2024-38226 in the wild since at least 10 Sep 2024.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Office 2019. 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-2024-38226/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38226/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38226","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38226/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38226","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rf2v-qj9w-x393"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Publisher","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass security features in Microsoft Publisher, potentially exposing users to further threats.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"office_2019","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"office_long_term_servicing_channel","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"publisher","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-693","name":"Protection Mechanism Failure"}],"description":"Microsoft Publisher Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Publisher Protection Mechanism Failure","id":"CVE-2024-38226","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2024-09-10","dueDate":"2024-10-01","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Publisher","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Publisher Protection Mechanism Failure Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:office_2019","products":["microsoft:office_2019","microsoft:office_long_term_servicing_channel"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft SharePoint Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38227"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38225"},"products":["Microsoft Office 2019","Microsoft Office LTSC 2021","Microsoft Publisher 2016"],"published":"2024-09-10","related":[],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass security features in Microsoft Publisher, potentially exposing users to further threats.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38226/"}
