CVE-2026-26110 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Office caused by type confusion when the software accesses a resource using an incompatible type. Improper type handling can lead to invalid memory access and unintended control over program execution, enabling arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected Office application. The vulnerability affects multiple Microsoft Office product lines, including perpetual, LTSC, Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, macOS editions, and Office for Android. A notable attack vector is content rendering through the Preview Pane, where specially crafted malicious Office content can trigger exploitation during preview rather than requiring the user to fully open the document.
