NASL family MacOS X Local Security Checks NASL id MACOS_MS20_MAR_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 multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities in Microsoft Word software due to failure to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker could use a specially crafted file to perform actions in the security context of the current user. To exploit this issue, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file. last seen 2020-04-18 modified 2020-03-11 plugin id 134408 published 2020-03-11 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2020 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/134408 title Security Updates for Microsoft Office Products (March 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.
