Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) up to and including build 5.0.3805 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by including a Java applet that invokes COM (Component Object Model) objects in a web site or an HTML mail.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Microsoft Java component could let a malicious website or HTML email run code through a Java applet that invokes COM objects. The business risk is highest where legacy Windows images still include Microsoft VM build 5.0.3805 or earlier. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems retaining Microsoft Virtual Machine build 5.0.3805 or earlier, especially systems that can render Java applets from web content or HTML mail. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item with high impact if present. It should not distract from modern actively exploited issues unless old Microsoft VM deployments still exist. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Microsoft VM and record build numbers.; Prioritize systems running build 5.0.3805 or earlier.; Review and apply Microsoft MS02-069 vendor guidance..
