DescriptionCVE.org

Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

AnalysisAI

Local code execution in Microsoft Office is possible through a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) that an unauthenticated attacker can trigger when a user opens a crafted document. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 reflects high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with required user interaction limiting mass exploitation. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not currently listed on the CISA KEV catalog.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122), a memory-safety defect in which a write past the bounds of a heap-allocated buffer corrupts adjacent metadata or object pointers in the process heap of Microsoft Office. Office's document parsers (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and their shared rich-text/OLE/structured-storage components) routinely deserialize complex binary structures, and a length-validation or arithmetic flaw in one of these parsers is the typical root cause of this CWE class. Successful corruption of heap metadata or vtable pointers can be leveraged to redirect control flow and achieve arbitrary code execution within the context of the Office process. CPE strings were not provided in the input, so the exact Office editions and channels affected must be derived from the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory - apply the Microsoft security update for CVE-2026-45475 published on the Microsoft Security Update Guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-45475 across all Office installations (Microsoft 365 Apps, Office LTSC, and any supported perpetual Office releases listed by Microsoft); the input does not specify exact KB or build numbers, so consult the advisory for the authoritative fixed builds. Until patches are deployed, reduce exposure by enforcing Protected View for files originating from the internet and other untrusted locations, blocking or stripping Office documents from external email at the gateway, and configuring Attack Surface Reduction rules and Office macro/Mark-of-the-Web policies - these mitigations may inconvenience users who legitimately receive external documents and can break workflows that disable Protected View by policy. Defender for Endpoint or equivalent EDR with exploit-protection rules for Office processes (e.g., child-process and DLL-injection guards) provides additional containment with low operational cost.
