Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Unspecified vulnerability in JustSystems Sanshiro 2007 before update 3, 2008 before update 5, 2009 before update 6, and 2010 before update 6, and Sanshiro Viewer before 2.0.2.0, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted document.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

This is a code execution vulnerability in JustSystems Sanshiro (a Japanese word processing application) where specially crafted document files can trigger arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is in unspecified parsing code within the software and requires user interaction (opening a malicious document) to exploit.

MitigationApply vendor patches (Sanshiro 2007 update 3, 2008 update 5, 2009 update 6, 2010 update 6, or Viewer 2.0.2.0). Until patched, avoid opening documents from untrusted sources and consider application isolation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check if JustSystems Sanshiro is installed
    Look for Sanshiro in the installed programs list via Control Panel > Programs and Features, or search for executable files named 'sanshiro.exe' or similar in Program Files directories
    Affected if Sanshiro is present on the system
  2. Identify the installed Sanshiro version
    Right-click the Sanshiro application shortcut or executable, select Properties, and check the Details tab for version information. Alternatively, open Sanshiro and go to Help > About to view version details
    Affected if Version matches 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, or Viewer (any version in these product lines)
  3. Confirm the Viewer component version if applicable
    If the Viewer product is installed, check its version through the application properties or Help > About dialog. Look for version numbers below 2.0.2.0
    Affected if Viewer version is earlier than 2.0.2.0
  4. Verify document interaction capability
    Confirm that the installed Sanshiro version can open document files (.sbk, .sab, or standard document formats used by Sanshiro) - this is the attack vector for this vulnerability
    Affected if The application can open documents and the version is within the affected ranges

The environment is affected if JustSystems Sanshiro version 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, or Viewer (prior to 2.0.2.0) is installed and can open document files.
