66
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-3357 is a memory corruption vulnerability affecting multiple Microsoft Office and SharePoint products, including various versions of Office, Word for Mac, Word Viewer, and Office Web Apps. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a user's system through a crafted document. With a CVSS score of 7.8 (High), it presents a significant risk, requiring user interaction (UI:R) but with low attack complexity (AC:L) and potentially leading to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts (C:H/I:H/A:H). While no active exploitation is confirmed and public exploit code is limited to an invalid pointer reference for PowerPoint 2010, its high FAUCET Risk Score of 97/100 and above-average EPSS score indicate a notable potential for exploitation.
