The Microsoft Office Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
A remote code execution vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2022-38048, CVE-2022-41031)
A information disclosure vulnerability in Excel. An attacker who exploited the vulnerability could use the information together with other vulnerabilities in order to compromise the user’s computer or data. (CVE-2022-41043)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
