  - Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office PowerPoint allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code
    over a network. (CVE-2026-88207)

  - Reliance on untrusted inputs in a security decision in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized
    attacker to bypass a security feature locally. (CVE-2026-88210)

  - Untrusted pointer dereference in Microsoft Office PowerPoint allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose
    information over a network. (CVE-2026-88203)

  - Out-of-bounds read in Microsoft Office PowerPoint allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information
    locally. (CVE-2026-97005, CVE-2026-97744)
