An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-48917 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (Packagist): affected all versions; fixed in 1.29.4\n- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (Packagist): affected all versions; fixed in 1.29.4\n- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (Packagist): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.1.3\n- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (Packagist): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.1.3\n- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (Packagist): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.3.2\n- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (Packagist): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.3.2\n- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (Packagist): affected from 3.3.0; fixed in 3.4.0\n- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet (Packagist): affected from 3.3.0; fixed in 3.4.0\n- phpoffice/phpexcel (Packagist): affected all versions up to 1.8.2; no fix listed\n- phpoffice/phpexcel (Packagist): affected all versions up to 1.8.2; no fix listed\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-2024-48917/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-48917/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-48917","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-48917/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-48917","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PHP spreadsheet library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can bypass XML sanitization in PHPSpreadsheet to perform XML External Entity attacks, potentially reading sensitive files or executing code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"phpspreadsheet","vendor":"phpoffice"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"PhpSpreadsheet is a PHP library for reading and writing spreadsheet files. The `XmlScanner` class has a scan method which should prevent XXE attacks. However, in a bypass of the previously reported `CVE-2024-47873`, the regexes from the `findCharSet` method, which is used for determining the current encoding can be bypassed by using a payload in the encoding UTF-7, and adding at end of the file a comment with the value `encoding=\"UTF-8\"` with `\"`, which is matched by the first regex, so that `encoding='UTF-7'` with single quotes `'` in the XML header is not matched by the second regex. An attacker can bypass the sanitizer and achieve an XML external entity attack. Versions 1.9.4, 2.1.3, 2.3.2, and 3.4.0 fix the issue.","ecosystems":["Packagist"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"XXE in PHPSpreadsheet's XLSX reader","id":"CVE-2024-48917","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Packagist","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2024"},"n_packages":10,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Lack of Input Validation in RDS Light - Potential for Injection Attacks and Memory Tampering","id":"CVE-2024-48918"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.8.2"],"package":"phpoffice/phpexcel","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["1.8.2"],"package":"phpoffice/phpexcel","purl":"pkg:composer/phpoffice/phpexcel","source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["1.29.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["1.29.4"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","purl":"pkg:composer/phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["2.1.3"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["2.1.3"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","purl":"pkg:composer/phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["2.3.2"],"introduced":["2.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["2.3.2"],"introduced":["2.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","purl":"pkg:composer/phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["3.4.0"],"introduced":["3.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["3.4.0"],"introduced":["3.3.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","purl":"pkg:composer/phpoffice/phpspreadsheet","source":"GHSA-7cc9-j4mv-vcjp"}],"prev":{"headline":"Ceph is vulnerable to authentication bypass through RadosGW","id":"CVE-2024-48916"},"products":["PhpSpreadsheet"],"published":"2024-11-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"PhpSpreadsheet SSRF and RCE via PHP stream wrappers in IOFactory::load","id":"CVE-2026-34084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-05"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"XML External Entity Reference (XXE) in PHPSpreadsheet","id":"CVE-2024-45048","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"XXE in PHPSpreadsheet due to incomplete fix for previous encoding issue","id":"CVE-2019-12331","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"XXE in PHPSpreadsheet due to encoding issue","id":"CVE-2018-19277","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-14"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"PhpSpreadsheet vulnerable to unauthorized reflected XSS in the constructor of the Downloader class","id":"CVE-2024-56365","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-03"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"PhpSpreadsheet vulnerable to unauthorized reflected XSS in the Accounting.php file","id":"CVE-2024-56366","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-03"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"PhpSpreadsheet allows unauthorized reflected XSS in `Convert-Online.php` file","id":"CVE-2024-56408","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-18","vendors":["PHPOffice"]},"summary":"An attacker can bypass XML sanitization in PHPSpreadsheet to perform XML External Entity attacks, potentially reading sensitive files or executing code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-48917/"}
