CVE-2026-32190 is a Critical remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Office caused by a use-after-free condition. The flaw arises from improper handling of object lifetime in Office, allowing memory that has already been freed to be reused in a way that can corrupt program state and redirect execution flow. Microsoft classifies the issue as remote code execution because attacker-controlled content can trigger the vulnerable condition, but the CVSS attack vector is Local because the exploit executes on the target machine in the context of local Office processing. The vulnerability is also reachable through the Preview Pane, making document rendering itself a viable trigger path.
