DescriptionNVD

Use after free in Microsoft Office PowerPoint allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Office PowerPoint that allows an unauthenticated local attacker to execute arbitrary code with high integrity and confidentiality impact. The vulnerability requires user interaction (opening a malicious PowerPoint file) but no elevated privileges, making it accessible to standard user accounts. With a CVSS score of 7.8 and local attack vector, this represents a moderate-to-high severity risk for organizations where PowerPoint is widely deployed.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability exploits a use-after-free condition (CWE-416) in PowerPoint's file parsing or object handling logic. Use-after-free flaws occur when a program references memory that has been deallocated, allowing attackers to corrupt heap structures or execute code at a freed memory location. In PowerPoint's context, this likely involves the Office Open XML (OOXML) file format parser or the presentation object model, where specially crafted .pptx or .ppt files trigger premature object destruction followed by subsequent access. The vulnerability affects Microsoft Office PowerPoint components responsible for rendering or processing presentation content, with the attack vector being local file access requiring user interaction to open a malicious presentation.

RemediationAI

Apply Microsoft's official security update for CVE-2025-47175 via: (1) Windows Update/Microsoft Update for Windows-integrated Office installations, (2) Microsoft 365 automatic updates for cloud-subscribed versions, (3) Direct download from Microsoft Download Center for standalone Office versions. Immediate patch availability is typical for CVSS 7.8+ flaws. Interim mitigations pending patch deployment: (1) Disable PowerPoint file opening from untrusted sources; (2) Configure AppLocker/WDAC to restrict PowerPoint execution; (3) Use Windows Defender/Microsoft Defender for endpoint with real-time file scanning; (4) Block .pptx/.ppt files at email gateway if feasible for operations; (5) Disable macros in PowerPoint if not required. Verify patch installation via 'Help > About' in PowerPoint to confirm build number matches advisory.
