AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a code injection flaw (CWE‑94) that allows an unauthenticated attacker to cause Microsoft Data Formulator to generate and execute arbitrary code. This results in remote code execution on the affected host, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Affected Systems

Microsoft Data Formulator is affected. No specific product versions are listed in the advisory, so the risk applies to all installed instances until a vendor update is released.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates high severity, and the EPSS score is not available, but the absence from the CISA KEV catalog suggests no documented exploitation yet. The attack vector is inferred to be remote over the network, requiring the attacker to transmit malicious input to the Data Formulator service. If exploited, the attacker could run arbitrary code with the privileges of the application process.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply any available software update or patch released by Microsoft for Data Formulator that addresses the code injection issue
  • Restrict access to the Data Formulator service by implementing network segmentation or firewall rules, limiting connections to trusted hosts
  • Continuously monitor system logs for abnormal code execution attempts or changes in file integrity
  • Validate and sanitize all user-supplied inputs to the Data Formulator, ensuring strict input validation as guided by CWE‑94 remediation practices
