Summary: This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Microsoft Office file containing a malicious embedded ClickOnce application.

Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
