Microsoft announced that it has fixed two security vulnerabilities in its popular email client, Outlook. The company released a patch on Tuesday to address the issues, which could have potentially allowed hackers to gain access to users email accounts.
The first security flaw discovered in Outlook was a remote code execution vulnerability. This could have allowed an attacker to send a specially crafted email that, when opened by the victim, would execute malicious code on their computer. The second flaw was a privilege escalation vulnerability, which could have allowed a hacker to escalate their privileges on the system and potentially gain access to sensitive information.
Microsoft quickly released a patch for both security flaws after they were discovered. The company urged all Outlook users to update their software immediately to protect themselves from potential cyber attacks. Users can check for updates by going to the File tab in Outlook and selecting Office Account.
There have not been any reports of these specific vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild. However, Microsoft stated that they were aware of the potential for these flaws to be targeted by hackers and acted swiftly to prevent any potential attacks. It is always important for users to stay vigilant and keep their software up to date to protect themselves from cybersecurity threats.
