Status: ModifiedHigh (9.3)—💥 Exploit

Microsoft Works 6 File Converter, as used in Office 2003 SP2 and SP3, Works 8.0, and Works Suite 2005, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .wps file with crafted section header index table information, aka "Microsoft Works File Converter Index Table Vulnerability."

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.
