The problem is all Office apps keep bugging me & asking me to check updates. Even when I'm running older versions of the Office 2016 for Mac apps, checking for updates always returns the same answer: 'There are no updates. The first works normally: when an update is available, the Microsoft AutoUpdate tool finds them and installs them.

As hinted above, malicious hackers quickly try to figure out the vulnerabilities Microsoft discloses every month so that they can attack machines that haven't installed the patches yet.Normally I’d encourage people to keep their system / app up-to-date, but there is only one word that can describe what Microsoft had done in Office for Mac: catastrophe. Four other flaws being fixed had been previously disclosed but not exploited two involving the optional 3D Viewer software, the other two involving the always troublesome Remote Desktop Protocol.Īs always, you'll want to install Microsoft security patches in a timely manner.

How to protect yourself from this exploit CVE-2021-42296 (opens in new tab) is a Word RCE flaw and affects only enterprise versions of Office. There seem to be two related flaws that have not yet been exploited in the wild, although now that the secret's out it may just be a matter of time.ĬVE-2021-40442 (opens in new tab) is an Excel remote code execution (RCE) flaw, and its patch is also not available for Microsoft Office 2019 for Mac and Microsoft Office LTSC for Mac 2021. Regular consumer versions of Office 2021 for Mac or PC, released just last month, weren't listed as vulnerable by Microsoft's advisory. But the flaw has been patched in older Windows versions of Microsoft Office, including Office 2013, Office 2016, Office 2019, Office LTSC 2021 and Microsoft 365.
