Arbitrary code execution in Microsoft PowerPoint (and the broader Microsoft Office/365 suite on Windows and macOS) arises from a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) triggered when a victim opens a maliciously crafted presentation file. An attacker who cannot log in to the target can still run code in the context of the current user by convincing that user to open the booby-trapped file, giving full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the affected host. Microsoft has released a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local code execution in Microsoft Office PowerPoint (including Microsoft 365 Apps, Office 2019, Office LTSC 2021/2024, and their macOS variants) arises from a heap-based buffer overflow triggered when a victim opens a maliciously crafted presentation file. Successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code with the privileges of the current user, yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but Microsoft has released a patch.
Local code execution in Microsoft Office PowerPoint (CWE-122 heap-based buffer overflow) lets an unauthorized attacker run arbitrary code when a victim opens a maliciously crafted presentation file. The flaw affects a broad Office footprint - PowerPoint 2016, Office 2019, Office LTSC 2021/2024, Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, and multiple Office for Mac builds - and requires user interaction (opening the file) but no prior privileges. A vendor patch is available via MSRC; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Use-after-free memory corruption in Microsoft PowerPoint (versions 2016, 2019, LTSC 2021, LTSC 2024, and Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise) enables local code execution when users open malicious files. An attacker with no privileges can achieve full system compromise (high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact) by convincing a user to open a crafted PowerPoint document. Vendor patch available via Microsoft Security Response Center. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) identified at time of analysis, though CVSS 7.8 rating reflects high severity for local attack scenarios.
