User-assisted local code execution
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Excel allows local users to execute code after interacting with attacker-controlled content. Microsoft has not published the affected parser, input structure, allocation error, or out-of-bounds write operation that causes the heap corruption. Exploitation requires user interaction, and successful code execution occurs in the security context of the affected Office process.
