CVE-2026-50467 is a critical Microsoft Office remote code execution vulnerability. Available reporting describes it as a memory-safety flaw in Office that can be triggered when the application processes a specially crafted Office document, including via the Preview Pane. Advisory information characterizes the issue as a type confusion vulnerability, while other reporting describes it as a use-after-free condition; both descriptions place it in the class of unsafe object or memory handling bugs in Office document parsing or rendering. Successful exploitation allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally in the security context of the logged-on user.
