Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-48812

This Excel disclosure is notable for including Office Online Server in its affected list alongside the desktop Office 2019 editions, meaning a server-hosted, browser-based Excel viewing scenario is also in scope, not just local desktop files. High severity at 8.4 with only 1 percent EPSS suggests real-world exploitation is not currently expected, but the server component adds an angle worth checking if the organization runs Office Online Server for document collaboration. Confirm whether that role is even deployed before treating this as urgent.

Do this: Check whether Office Online Server is deployed in the environment and patch it alongside desktop Office 2019 installs if so.
