DescriptionCVE.org

Out-of-bounds read in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in Microsoft Word's document-parsing engine enables remote information disclosure across Microsoft 365 Apps, Office 2019, 2021, and 2024 LTSC on both Windows and macOS. An unauthenticated remote attacker (per CVSS PR:N) can cause Word to read beyond an allocated buffer when a victim opens a crafted document, potentially leaking sensitive memory contents to an attacker-controlled endpoint. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to open or preview a specially crafted Word document using an unpatched version of Microsoft Word - user interaction is mandatory (CVSS UI:R) and the attack cannot succeed without the victim taking this action. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.5 Medium score reflects a network-reachable attack requiring no attacker privileges but mandating victim file-open interaction, which SSVC confirms limits automation potential (Automatable: no). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply vendor-released patches via Microsoft Update, Windows Update for Business, or the Microsoft 365 admin center. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
