CVE-2025-62552 [HIGH] CWE-23 Microsoft Access Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Microsoft Access Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Description: Relative path traversal in Microsoft Office Access allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.
FAQ: Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?
No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.
FAQ: According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?
The word Remote in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.
FAQ: According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R)
No detection rules found.
No public exploits indexed.
