A security feature bypass vulnerability in the Windows MSHTML Platform allows an attacker to circumvent COM/OLE and OLE-related protections used by Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Office. Successful exploitation relies on delivering a specially crafted malicious file or document to a victim and inducing the victim to load or open it on a vulnerable Windows system. The flaw can bypass intended security controls in the MSHTML/OLE handling path and enable subsequent arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged-in user. The vulnerability has been reported as actively exploited in the wild.
