remote code execution

Microsoft’s advisory that lists CVE-2026-20948 as a “Microsoft Word Remote Code Execution Vulnerability” is not mistaken when a published CVSS vector shows Attack Vector = Local (AV:L); the two labels answer different operational questions and together give a fuller picture of exploit impact and...

Microsoft’s security advisory listing for CVE-2026-21219 identifies a remote code execution risk in the Windows Inbox COM Objects (Global Memory) code paths — a family of memory-safety defects that Microsoft has acknowledged and for which vendor updates are the recommended remediation...

A newly disclosed and patched vulnerability—tracked as CVE-2026-20854—targets the Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) and is classified as a remote code execution (RCE) weakness that can be triggered over the network without elevated privileges. The issue was bundled into...

Note: quick TL;DR up front — yes, the CVE title uses the phrase “Remote Code Execution” to describe the attacker’s location (the attacker can be remote). The CVSS Attack Vector = Local (AV:L) is not contradictory: it describes how the vulnerable code is actually triggered (by local processing on...

Microsoft’s advisory for CVE-2026-20953 is labeled a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability while the published CVSS base vector reports the Attack Vector as AV:L (Local) — a phrasing mismatch that has caused confusion among administrators, security teams, and risk managers. The apparent...

Short answer (TL;DR) The CVE title says "Remote Code Execution" because a remote attacker can deliver a malicious Word file and cause code to run on the victim machine (attacker origin / impact). The CVSS Attack Vector = Local (AV:L) because the vulnerable code actually executes inside a local...

Microsoft’s January Patch Tuesday included CVE-2026-20944, a Microsoft Word vulnerability described in vendor advisories as a Remote Code Execution (RCE) but scored in CVSS with an Attack Vector of Local (AV:L) — a seeming contradiction that has confused admins and security teams. The short...

Microsoft’s brief CVE title and the CVSS vector are answering two different questions: the CVE headline tells you what an off‑host attacker can ultimately accomplish (arbitrary code execution on a target), while the CVSS Attack Vector (AV) reports where the vulnerable code must be executed at...

Microsoft’s tracking entry for CVE-2025-64676 shows a confirmed vulnerability in Microsoft Purview’s eDiscovery component that can lead to remote code execution (RCE); the vendor entry is the authoritative signal that an exploitable defect exists and that administrators must treat the issue as...

Apache HTTP Server has a newly disclosed vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-58098 that causes the Server Side Includes (SSI) processor to pass a shell-escaped query string into the output of <!--#exec cmd="…"--> directives when mod_cgid (but not mod_cgi) is enabled — a bug fixed in the 2.4.66...

Microsoft’s security telemetry just added another Office advisory to the pile: CVE-2025-62554, a type‑confusion vulnerability in Microsoft Office that vendors classify as a Remote Code Execution (RCE) risk and that — based on current public records — appears to allow code execution in the...

Microsoft’s advisory language and public vulnerability metrics are often shorthand for two different concerns: what an attacker can achieve and how the vulnerable code is actually invoked. That distinction lies at the heart of the current public record around CVE-2025-62563 — a Microsoft Excel...

A critical, maximum-severity flaw in React Server Components has been disclosed that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable servers — a vulnerability tracked as CVE‑2025‑55182 that carries a perfect CVSS score of 10.0 and forces an urgent, ecosystem-wide...

A high-severity security advisory has been circulated by national incident-response teams warning that a newly patched flaw in Microsoft’s graphics stack can be weaponized to breach organizational networks; the vulnerability — a heap‑based buffer overflow in the Microsoft Graphics Component...

Microsoft’s November Patch Tuesday landed a high‑urgency security wake‑up call: a critical heap‑based buffer overflow in the Microsoft Graphics Component (GDI+) — tracked as CVE‑2025‑60724 — plus multiple browser and Office fixes that together widen the attack surface for both consumer PCs and...

Microsoft’s CVE entry for CVE-2025-62203 is labeled a “Remote Code Execution” (RCE) vulnerability for Excel even though the published CVSS vector records the Attack Vector as Local (AV:L) — and that apparent contradiction is intentional, rooted in the difference between impact messaging and...

Microsoft’s CVE entry for CVE-2025-62203 calls the Excel flaw a “Remote Code Execution” vulnerability, but the published CVSS vector marks the Attack Vector as Local (AV:L) — a distinction that looks contradictory at first glance but, in practice, reflects two different questions: what an...

Microsoft’s advisory for CVE-2025-62200 labels the defect as a “Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability,” even though the published CVSS vector explicitly records the attack vector as Local (AV:L); this is not a contradiction but a difference in what each label is describing — the...

Microsoft’s CVE entry and Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) wording for CVE-2025-62201 label the bug as a “Remote Code Execution” (RCE) class vulnerability in Excel while the CVSS vector records the Attack Vector as Local (AV:L), and that apparent contradiction is not an error — it is...

Microsoft has published a security advisory for CVE-2025-60724, a critical remote code execution (RCE) flaw in the Microsoft Graphics Component (GDI+) that Microsoft describes as a heap-based buffer overflow capable of enabling unauthenticated code execution in certain scenarios; the issue...
