These vulnerabilities could allow cyber-crime, in order to influence users to malicious office documents.
Information technology company identified the gaps in the security market with the aid of automated software engineering, which is called the “argument” and report them to the Microsoft on Feb.
And these are three of the vulnerabilities are fixed, in the last month, the company managed to fix the last thing in the past in the future.

“We have learned that, to be honest, that is, to interpret the errors that have been missed in the original code, said Yaniv Balmas, head of cyber research, Check Point Software said in a statement.
One of the most important findings of our study is that the old code is still a major weak link in the security chain, and in particular, in such a complex application, such as Microsoft Office suite of products.”
The researchers noted that the attack direction can be, and it is the easiest of them is when the victim to download a malicious .the xls-file.
The Check Point Research, which reported that it was found in four of the Microsoft vulnerabilities, February, march 28. The three of them are classified as THE 2021 at the latest-31174, CVE-2021-31178, and THE 20 and 21-31179, prepared by the giant on the 11th of May, while in the past, identified as CVE-2021-31939, was patched on Tuesday.
