CVE-2026-55123 Published on July 14, 2026
Microsoft PowerPoint Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office PowerPoint allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.
Weakness Types
Heap-based Buffer Overflow
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types
When converting from one data type to another, such as long to integer, data can be omitted or translated in a way that produces unexpected values. If the resulting values are used in a sensitive context, then dangerous behaviors may occur.
