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.
