Microsoft apps have several security flaws that could make your Mac vulnerable to hackers. Here’s what you can do to protect yourself.
Cybersecurity group Cisco Talos identified vulnerabilities in Microsoft apps for Mac that could leave you vulnerable to hackers. According to the group, some Microsoft apps can be exploited and let hackers inject malicious libraries to gain entitlements and user-granted permissions, such as microphone access, camera, folders, screen recording, user input, and more.
Cisco Talos says there are eight vulnerabilities in various Microsoft Mac apps that let attackers bypass the operating system’s permission model by using app permissions without prompting the user for any additional verification.
