1) Product UI does not warn user of unsafe actions (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-124194) Exploited

CWE-ID: CWE-356 - Product UI does not Warn User of Unsafe Actions

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain a user's NTLMv2 authentication hash.

The vulnerability exists due to a failure to warn users of unsafe actions in Microsoft Office Outlook when opening a specially crafted message file. A remote attacker can convince a user to open the file, causing Outlook to connect to an attacker-controlled network location without displaying the usual external-content warning, to obtain the user's NTLMv2 authentication hash.

The Preview Pane is not an exploitation vector.

Note, the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild.
