A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word software when it fails to properly handle objects in memory, aka 'Microsoft Word Remote Code Execution Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2020-1447, CVE-2020-1448.

The Microsoft Word Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Office improperly discloses the contents of     its memory. An attacker who exploited the vulnerability     could use the information to compromise the users     computer or data.  (CVE-2020-1445)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Word software when it fails to properly handle     objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could use a specially     crafted file to perform actions in the security context     of the current user. For example, the file could then     take actions on behalf of the logged-on user with the     same permissions as the current user.  (CVE-2020-1446,     CVE-2020-1447, CVE-2020-1448)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Office software reads out of bound memory due     to an uninitialized variable, which could disclose the     contents of memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could view out of bound     memory. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that     a user open a specially crafted file with an affected     version of Microsoft Office software. The security     update addresses the vulnerability by properly     initializing the affected variable. (CVE-2020-1342)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Microsoft SharePoint Server installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     Microsoft SharePoint Server and Skype for Business     Server improperly handle OAuth token validation. An     attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability     could bypass authentication and achieve improper access.
    (CVE-2020-1025)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Office improperly discloses the contents of     its memory. An attacker who exploited the vulnerability     could use the information to compromise the users     computer or data.  (CVE-2020-1445)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Office software reads out of bound memory due     to an uninitialized variable, which could disclose the     contents of memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could view out of bound     memory. Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that     a user open a specially crafted file with an affected     version of Microsoft Office software. The security     update addresses the vulnerability by properly     initializing the affected variable. (CVE-2020-1342)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     PerformancePoint Services for SharePoint Server when the     software fails to check the source markup of XML file     input. An attacker who successfully exploited the     vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of     the process responsible for deserialization of the XML     content.  (CVE-2020-1439)

  - A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when     Microsoft SharePoint Server does not properly sanitize a     specially crafted web request to an affected SharePoint     server. An authenticated attacker could exploit the     vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to     an affected SharePoint server. The attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could then     perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems     and run script in the security context of the current     user. The attacks could allow the attacker to read     content that the attacker is not authorized to read, use     the victim's identity to take actions on the SharePoint     site on behalf of the user, such as change permissions     and delete content, and inject malicious content in the     browser of the user. The security update addresses the     vulnerability by helping to ensure that SharePoint     Server properly sanitizes web requests. (CVE-2020-1450,     CVE-2020-1451, CVE-2020-1456)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists when Microsoft     SharePoint Server does not properly sanitize a specially     crafted web request to an affected SharePoint server. An     authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability     by sending a specially crafted request to an affected     SharePoint server. The attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could then perform cross-     site scripting attacks on affected systems and run     script in the security context of the current user.
    These attacks could allow the attacker to read content     that the attacker is not authorized to read, use the     victim's identity to take actions on the SharePoint site     on behalf of the user, such as change permissions and     delete content, and inject malicious content in the     browser of the user. The security update addresses the     vulnerability by helping to ensure that SharePoint     Server properly sanitizes web requests. (CVE-2020-1443)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way     Microsoft SharePoint software parses specially crafted     email messages. An attacker who successfully exploited     the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the     context of the system user. An attacker could then     install programs; view, change, add, or delete data.
    (CVE-2020-1444)

  - This vulnerability is caused when SharePoint Server does     not properly sanitize a specially crafted request to an     affected SharePoint server. An authenticated attacker     could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially     crafted request to an affected SharePoint server. The     attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability     could then perform cross-site scripting attacks on     affected systems and run script in the security context     of the current user. These attacks could allow the     attacker to read content that the attacker is not     authorized to read, use the victim's identity to take     actions on the SharePoint site on behalf of the victim,     such as change permissions, delete content, steal     sensitive information (such as browser cookies) and     inject malicious content in the browser of the victim.
    For this vulnerability to be exploited, a user must     click a specially crafted URL that takes the user to a     targeted SharePoint Web App site. In an email attack     scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by     sending an email message containing the specially     crafted URL to the user of the targeted SharePoint Web     App site and convincing the user to click the specially     crafted URL.  (CVE-2020-1454)
