The Microsoft Word Products are missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  • A remote code execution vulnerability. (CVE-2023-36762)

  • An information disclosure vulnerability. (CVE-2023-36761)

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