Senserva AI Opinion for KB5002669

KB5002669 fixes CVE-2025-27744, a High severity, CVSS 7.8 vulnerability specific to the 64-bit edition of Office 2016. It is not currently in CISA KEV or associated with ransomware, so this fits the routine monthly Office patching cadence rather than an emergency response. Any organization still running 64-bit Office 2016 needs this to close the gap.
