Microsoft Outlook Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

A flaw in Microsoft Outlook allows an attacker to run malicious code on your computer by sending a specially crafted email. If you open that email, the attacker gains control of your system.

This RCE vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook exploits improper input validation (CWE-641: Incorrect Initialization with Hard-Coded Network Resource Configuration Elements) through a maliciously crafted email message. Successful exploitation requires user interaction (opening the email) and results in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the Outlook process, potentially compromising the entire system.
