Microsoft Office PowerPoint Code Injection Vulnerability - Active in CISA KEV catalog.
Critical vulnerabilities, curated daily for security professionals
Yesterday's disclosures contained zero critical-severity CVEs, a significant decrease from the prior day's two critical vulnerabilities. High-priority vulnerabilities dropped 60% to 21 entries compared to 53 previously. Four actively exploited vulnerabilities were added to the KEV catalog, including CVE-2009-0556 affecting Microsoft Office, CVE-2025-37164 in HPE OneView, CVE-2025-8110 targeting Gogs, and CVE-2026-20805 impacting Microsoft Windows. All four KEV entries carry CVSS scores of 9.5, indicating severe impact potential despite the absence of newly disclosed critical CVEs. Patch availability stands at 0%, indicating these vulnerabilities currently lack vendor-supplied fixes.
Immediate action: Organizations running Microsoft Office, Microsoft Windows, HPE OneView, or Gogs should prioritize reviewing these actively exploited vulnerabilities for potential exposure. With no patches currently available, implement compensating controls such as network segmentation, access restrictions, and enhanced monitoring for affected systems.
