Content spoofing via relative path traversal
Published Mar 14, 2023 · Updated Jan 1, 2025
Spoofing in Microsoft Office for Android before 16.0.16026.20172 allows attackers to disguise malicious content as legitimate. Microsoft maps the issue to relative path traversal but has not disclosed the affected component or path operation that mishandles attacker-controlled input. Exploitation requires user interaction with a crafted local link, application, or file, and the bounded consequence is deceptive content presentation.
