CVE Descriptions

Buffer overflow in certain Asian language versions of Microsoft Excel might allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted STYLE record in a spreadsheet that triggers the overflow when the user attempts to repair the document or selects the "Style" option, as demonstrated by nanika.xls. NOTE: Microsoft has confirmed to CVE via e-mail that this is different than the other Excel vulnerabilities announced before 20060707, including CVE-2006-3059 and CVE-2006-3086.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Exploit information

Exploit Database EDB-ID : 28189

EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/18872/info Microsoft Excel is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of targeted users. A proof-of-concept malicious code named 'Trojan.Hongmosa' is actively exploiting this vulnerability, which results in crashing Excel running on Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, or Korean Windows. Note that Microsoft Office applications include functionality to embed Office files as objects contained in other Office files. As an example, Microsoft Word files may contain embedded malicious Microsoft Excel files, making Word documents another possible attack vector. This issue is distinct from the issue described in BID 18422 (Microsoft Excel Unspecified Remote Code Execution Vulnerability). Proof-of-concept 'Nanika.xls' was originally thought to be related to BID 18422; however, reports indicate that 'Nanika.xls' triggers this vulnerability. https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/28189.xls
