About this tag
The cve 2026 55045 tag covers Microsoft Office security information for an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that allows code execution. The issue was published in Microsoft’s July 14, 2026 security release and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4. Its vector identifies a local attack path with low complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction, alongside high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Coverage also explains why Microsoft describes the flaw as remote code execution even though CVSS classifies the attack vector as local: “remote” refers to the attacker’s location rather than a network protocol. The tag is useful for tracking patch-related details.
