Summary

In Microsoft Virtual Machine versions up to and including build 5.0.3805, a vulnerability exists that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the user's system. This can occur when the affected product processes a Java applet that is designed to invoke COM (Component Object Model) objects through a web page or HTML email. As such, users may be at risk of executing unintended commands or malicious actions without their consent.
