CVE-2013-0808 is a vulnerability exploited through embedded Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) objects in malicious Hancom Hangul HWP documents. Observed attacks used zlib-compressed EPS objects containing shellcode to download payloads disguised as images, decode them, and execute ROKRAT. The documents were delivered through spear-phishing campaigns targeting South Korean users. The underlying implementation flaw, vulnerable function, and affected software versions are not established.
