Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-29977

Office Online Server is the notable target here: this Excel remote code execution flaw, High Severity at CVSS 7.8, affects the server-side rendering component as well as Office 2019 desktops. That matters because Office Online Server parses spreadsheets uploaded by many users, so one malicious workbook can put code on a shared server rather than a single desktop. EPSS sits at 1 percent with no confirmed exploitation.

Do this: Update Office Online Server farms that render user-uploaded spreadsheets before touching individual Office 2019 installs.
