Code execution via untrusted pointer dereference
Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
Untrusted pointer dereference in Microsoft Office allows attackers to execute code locally via unspecified vectors. Microsoft has not disclosed the affected Office component or trigger; the public record goes no further than a CWE-822 mapping, meaning Office accepts a value from untrusted input and dereferences it as a pointer. The published CVSS 3.1 vector requires local reachability and user interaction with no prior privileges, so exposure depends on getting a user to open or otherwise process attacker-controlled content.

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.
