NASL family MacOS X Local Security Checks NASL id MACOS_MS20_FEB_OFFICE.NASL description The Microsoft Office application installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to Microsoft Excel improperly handling objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker has to entice the logged on user to click a link or open a specially crafted file to gain control of the system with the privileges of the logged on user. last seen 2020-03-18 modified 2020-02-12 plugin id 133650 published 2020-02-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/133650 title Security Updates for Microsoft Office Products (February 2020) (macOS) code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from the Microsoft Security Updates API.

NASL family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins NASL id SMB_NT_MS20_FEB_OFFICE.NASL description The Microsoft Office Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Excel software when the software fails to properly handle objects in memory. 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-2020-0759) - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft Outlook software when it improperly handles the parsing of URI formats. The security feature bypass by itself does not allow arbitrary code execution. However, to successfully exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to use it in conjunction with another vulnerability, such as a remote code execution vulnerability, to take advantage of the security feature bypass vulnerability and run arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-0696) - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office OLicenseHeartbeat task, where an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run this task as SYSTEM.
