The Microsoft Word Products are missing security updates. They are, therefore, affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands.

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