ANSSI has published a security advisory covering a large batch of vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Office products across multiple versions and platforms. The vulnerabilities span Microsoft Office 2016 (32/64-bit), Office 2019, Office LTSC 2021 and 2024 editions, Office 365 for Mac, Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise, Microsoft 365 Copilot for mobile platforms, and Office Online Server. The advisory indicates three primary impact categories: remote code execution, privilege escalation, and confidentiality breaches. Affected versions include Office 2016 prior to 16.0.5561.1000/1001 across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; Office 2019 in all editions; LTSC versions for both 2021 and 2024; Office 365 for Mac prior to 16.111.26071215; Office for Android prior to 16.0.20228.20042; and Microsoft 365 Copilot for iOS prior to 2.111.4. Defenders should prioritize patching these products across their estate, with particular attention to widely-deployed Office 2016 and cloud-connected Microsoft 365 deployments.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,433 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
