Technical details
The vulnerability is a UI omission in Microsoft Office where a security warning for unsafe user actions fails to display under certain network conditions. An unauthenticated attacker on the network can trigger this condition without user interaction beyond the normal operation of Office. The attacker gains the ability to bypass the intended security warning, allowing subsequent malicious actions to proceed undetected.
