Microsoft Outlook Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Microsoft Outlook affects Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, Office LTSC 2021, and Office LTSC 2024 when a targeted user opens or previews a specially crafted email message. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) indicates an unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger the flaw with no credentials, but success depends on the victim interacting with the malicious message - Outlook's Preview Pane is a plausible trigger surface for message-borne code execution. …
