cve-2026-45472

CVE-2026-45472 is a Microsoft Office remote code execution vulnerability disclosed on June 9, 2026. While security updates are available for Windows versions, Microsoft has stated that fixes for Office LTSC for Mac 2021, Office LTSC for Mac 2024, and Microsoft 365 for Mac are not immediately available. This creates an operational challenge for Mac administrators who expected a patch on Patch Tuesday but instead found a placeholder. Microsoft has promised a later CVE revision when the Mac updates ship. Discussions on WindowsForum focus on the disclosure gap, the lack of a download link for Mac, and the implications for enterprise IT security planning.
