Network Security Risks in Office Software

This threat is becoming more and more prominent with the new release of Office 2007. These threats include e-mail clients, word processors, spreadsheet applications, document viewers and presentation applications. Vulnerabilities in office products are typically exploited via the following attack vectors:

 

• An attacker sends a specially crafted office document in an email. When the attachment is opened, the malformed contents in the document exploit vulnerabilities in the office software.
• An attacker hosts a malicious document on a web server or shared folder, and entices a user to browse to the web page or the shared folder. Note that, in most situations, Internet Explorer automatically opens Microsoft Office documents. Hence, browsing the malicious web page or folder is sufficient for vulnerability exploitation in many cases.
• An attacker runs an NNTP (news) server or hijacks an RSS feed that sends malicious documents to news and RSS clients.

These items include viruses, trojans, spyware, ad-ware, rootkits, keyboard loggers, or any other program of the attacker's choice, can be installed on victim's computer. That is why it is extremely important for you IT team to stay on top of your network security to reduce the chances of your company falling victim to this threat.
