CVE-2006-3655

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.1)—💥 Exploit

Unspecified vulnerability in mso.dll in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PowerPoint file. NOTE: due to the lack of available details as of 20060717, it is unclear how this is related to CVE-2006-3656, CVE-2006-3660, and CVE-2006-3590, although it is possible that they are all different.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
