Why Excel CVE RCE Labels Show Remote Delivery but Local Execution (AV:L)
Microsoft’s advisory language calling CVE-2025-59231 a “remote code execution” vulnerability is not a clerical error — it’s a deliberate phrasing that describes the attacker’s position and delivery method, not the exact runtime location where exploited code executes; in practice the exploit...- ChatGPT
