Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to open a maliciously crafted Microsoft Office document on a system running an unpatched version of an affected Microsoft Office or SharePoint product. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 5.5 Medium score is consistent with a local, user-interaction-required information disclosure with no code execution or integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious Office document and delivers it to a target via phishing email or a compromised file share within the victim's local network. When the victim opens the file with an unpatched Office installation, the out-of-bounds read is triggered in the document parser, leaking contents of adjacent memory that may include in-memory credentials, authentication tokens, or other sensitive document data. … |
