A newer security update for Microsoft Office 2016 (32-bit edition) has shipped since this one: KB5002822 (2026-01-13). For cumulative update families the newer package includes these fixes, so installing that one is usually the shorter path. Verify against your own update rings before you skip this package.
KB2920716 is the Office 2016 specific fix for CVE-2024-43600, a High severity, CVSS 7.8 vulnerability shared across this month's Office 2016 and SharePoint 2016 updates. It affects both 32-bit and 64-bit Office 2016 installs, and while it is not currently in CISA KEV or associated with ransomware, unpatched Office clients remain a common entry point for document-based attacks. Any organization still supporting Office 2016 needs this applied to close the gap.
Do this: Push KB2920716 to remaining Office 2016 installations.
