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

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Excel software when the software fails to     properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run     arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative     user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install     programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2020-1494,     CVE-2020-1495, CVE-2020-1496)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft Excel 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-2020-1497)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office software when the software fails to     properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run     arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative     user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install     programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. (CVE-2020-1563)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Office Click-to-Run (C2R)     components handle objects in memory.
