Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2026-45455
CVE-2026-45455 is an information disclosure flaw in Microsoft Excel spanning Office Online Server and both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Microsoft Office 2019, carrying a High severity rating at CVSS 8.2. The relatively high score for a disclosure bug suggests it can leak meaningful data rather than trivial metadata, though EPSS puts exploitation odds at 1 percent with no confirmed exploitation in CISA KEV. Office Online Server exposure is notable because it often sits in a server role handling documents from many users, widening the potential blast radius beyond a single workstation.
Do this: Prioritize patching Office Online Server first, then roll out the Excel update to Office 2019 32-bit and 64-bit clients.
