CVE-2020-16931

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Microsoft Excel (affected versions not specified)

Description: A remote code execution issue exists in Microsoft Excel software due to improper handling of objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploits this issue could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user has administrative user rights, the attacker could take control of the affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights. Exploitation requires a user to open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Excel. This could occur through email or web-based attacks, where an attacker convinces a user to open the specially crafted file.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
