The Microsoft Office Web Apps installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  • Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities in Microsoft Excel. (CVE-2021-34501, CVE-2021-34518)

  • A spoofing vulnerability in Microsoft Office Online Server. (CVE-2021-34451).

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