The Microsoft Excel Products are missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

  • Two remote code execution vulnerabilities. (CVE-2023-36896, CVE-2023-35371)

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