Security Stop-Press : Threat From Exploiting Macros In Microsoft Word Due To macOS Flaw

Microsoft’s 365 Defender Research Team has warned that a flaw in macOS coupled with Microsoft Word’s backward compatibility could allow the circumvention of App Sandbox rules. This could enable potentially malicious macros to run in Word, leading to users downloading malware, or ransomware. The advice is for macOS users to install the security updates released by Apple on May 16, 2022, as soon as possible.
