Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2008-0951 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Microsoft Windows Vista does not properly enforce the NoDriveTypeAutoRun registry value, which allows user-assisted remote attackers, and possibly physically proximate attackers, to execute arbitrary code by inserting a (1) CD-ROM device or (2) U3-enabled USB device containing a filesystem with an Autorun.inf file, and possibly other vectors related to (a) AutoRun and (b) AutoPlay actions.. EPSS estimates a 30.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
