The Microsoft office Product is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2021-28449)
Microsoft Word Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2021-28453)
Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2021-28454)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
