CVE-2013-0074

What is affected

Vendor	Microsoft
Product	Silverlight

The vulnerability

Microsoft Silverlight does not properly validate pointers during HTML object rendering, which allows remote attackers to execute code via a crafted Silverlight application.

Required action

The impacted product is end-of-life and should be disconnected if still in use.

US federal civilian agencies were required to act by 15 June 2022 under BOD 22-01. The deadline is a compliance date, not a measure of severity — it says nothing about how dangerous the flaw is to anyone else.

Ransomware

CISA records this vulnerability as having been used in ransomware campaigns. That is a confirmed observation, not an assessment of likelihood.
