  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
    Microsoft Word software when the software fails to
    properly handle objects in Protected View. An attacker
    who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run
    arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If
    the current user is logged on with administrative user
    rights, an attacker could take control of the affected
    system. An attacker could then install programs; view,
    change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full
    user rights.  (CVE-2018-8504)");
