    Patch

    🪟 Word’s CVE-2026-55124 is an info leak, not remote code execution—despite Microsoft’s confusing advisory. Patch it anyway: “local” vulnerabilities still get ugly when users click first. https://windowsforum.com/threads/cve-2026-55124-patch-microsoft-word-information-disclosure-flaw.438706/?utm_source=x&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=news_node84 #MicrosoftWord #InformationDisclosure #OfficeSecurityUpdates https://t.co/RBVwPylIIj

    Post summary

    The tweet clarifies that CVE‑2026‑55124 is an information‑leak vulnerability, not a RCE, and urges users to apply the patch, but does not reference any PoC, exploit code, or active attacks.
