Microsoft Office Excel 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, and 2003 SP2 and SP3; Office Excel Viewer 2003; and Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac do not properly validate index values for AxesSet records when loading Excel files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Excel file, aka the "Excel Indexing Validation Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-3004 is a Microsoft Excel file-parsing flaw in legacy Office products. A malicious Excel file could cause code execution when opened. The main business risk is from old desktops or file-viewing systems that still process untrusted spreadsheets. Exposure is most likely in legacy workstations, archives, kiosks, or file-processing workflows that retain affected Microsoft Office or Excel Viewer versions and open external spreadsheets. Treat as high priority only where legacy Office remains in use. Modern supported Office estates are less likely exposed, but unmanaged old file viewers can create a persistent business risk. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MS08-043 guidance for affected products and updates.; Remove or isolate legacy Office and Excel Viewer versions where possible.; Block untrusted spreadsheet attachments for systems running affected software..
