Synopsis

The Microsoft Office product installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Microsoft Office product installed on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Microsoft Office Graphics Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2022-44692)

 - An attacker could appear as a trusted user when they should not be. This could cause a user to mistakenly trust a signed email message as if it came from a legitimate user. (CVE-2022-44713)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for Microsoft Office for Mac.
