Technical details

A type confusion vulnerability (CWE-843) exists in Microsoft Office due to the application accessing resources using an incompatible type. This flaw allows an attacker to bypass memory safety protections and execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. The attack vector is local, meaning the attacker must already have a foothold on the system or deliver a malicious payload that is executed locally. The vulnerability impacts a wide range of products including Office 2016, 2019, LTSC versions, and Microsoft 365 Apps. Microsoft has released security updates to address this issue; users should update to the latest available versions, such as Android version 16.0.18925.20000 or later.
