CVE-2007-0515
Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—💥 Exploit
Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Word allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on Word 2000, and cause a denial of service on Word 2003, via unknown attack vectors that trigger memory corruption, as exploited by Trojan.Mdropper.W and later by Trojan.Mdropper.X, a different issue than CVE-2006-6456, CVE-2006-5994, and CVE-2006-6561.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 9.3
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 38%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 99
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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.
