CVE-2007-0213
CWE-20Published: May 8, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
10.0
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 SP3, 2003 SP1 and SP2, and 2007 does not properly decode certain MIME encoded e-mails, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted base64-encoded MIME e-mail message.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-0213 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2007-0213. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
