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

  • An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2023-36761)

  • A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2023-36762)

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