The Microsoft office Product is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2021-1711)

  • Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2021-1714)

  • Microsoft Word Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2021-1715, CVE-2021-1716)

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