In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file.</p>\n<p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft Word handles files in memory.</p>\n", "lang": "en-US"}], "problemTypes": [{"descriptions": [{"description": "Remote Code Execution", "lang": "en-US", "type": "Impact"}]}], "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "f38d906d-7342-40ea-92c1-6c4a2c6478c8", "shortName": "microsoft", "dateUpdated": "2023-12-31T21:34:50.812Z"}, "references": [{"tags": ["x_refsource_MISC"], "url": "https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-1218"}], "metrics": [{"format": "CVSS", "scenarios": [{"lang": "en-US", "value": "GENERAL"}], "cvssV3_1": {"version": "3.1", "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "baseScore": 7.8, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C"}}]}, "adp": [{"providerMetadata": {"orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2024-08-04T06:31:59.795Z"}, "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [{"tags": ["x_refsource_MISC", "x_transferred"], "url": "https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-1218"}]}]}, "cveMetadata": {"assignerOrgId": "f38d906d-7342-40ea-92c1-6c4a2c6478c8", "assignerShortName": "microsoft", "cveId": "CVE-2020-1218", "datePublished": "2020-09-11T17:09:08", "dateReserved": "2019-11-04T00:00:00", "dateUpdated": "2024-08-04T06:31:59.795Z", "state": "PUBLISHED"}, "dataType": "CVE_RECORD", "dataVersion": "5.1"}
