User-assisted code execution
Published Sep 13, 2022 · Updated Mar 11, 2025
Remote code execution in affected Microsoft Office and Visio releases allows attackers to run code after required user interaction. Microsoft has not published the affected Visio component or the operation it performs incorrectly on untrusted content. Exploitation uses a local vector without prior privileges, and successful code runs in the interacting user's security context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=15.0.1 <15.0.5485.1001
