Description

The Microsoft Excel Products are missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary code to run when a maliciously modified file is opened.

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

Solution

For Office 365, Office 2016 C2R, or Office 2019, ensure automatic updates are enabled or open any office app and manually perform an update.
