CVE-2026-108433
HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk23th percentile - higher than 23% of all known CVEs
Summary
Reliance on untrusted inputs in a security decision in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally. The flaw involves making security decisions based on data that cannot be trusted.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with local access can bypass a security feature, potentially weakening workstation protection and facilitating further attacks.
Recommendation
Apply the Microsoft security update for Office Word as soon as possible and restrict local access to trusted users.
