The Microsoft EXE file parser in eSafe 7.0.17.0 and Prevx 3.0 allows remote attackers to bypass malware detection via an EXE file with a modified value in any of several e_ fields. NOTE: this may later be SPLIT into multiple CVEs if additional information is published showing that the error occurred independently in different EXE parser implementations.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a malware-scanning blind spot in two legacy antivirus products. A specially altered Windows EXE could evade detection by eSafe 7.0.17.0 and Prevx 3.0. Business urgency depends on whether these obsolete engines still protect mail, web, endpoint, or file-ingestion paths. Exposure is likely limited to environments still running eSafe 7.0.17.0, Prevx 3.0, or legacy systems embedding those scanners. Modern environments are mainly at risk if old scanning gateways, archives, or file-processing workflows remain in service. Prioritize discovery over emergency response. The issue is old and has no cited active exploitation, but any remaining affected scanner creates misplaced trust in malware filtering for executable files. Mitigation focus: Inventory for eSafe 7.0.17.0 and Prevx 3.0 deployments.; Check vendor or successor guidance for fixed or supported versions.; Retire unsupported legacy antivirus engines from security-critical paths..
