33
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-8432 is a remote code execution vulnerability within Microsoft Graphics Components, impacting various Windows versions (7, 10, Server 2008, 2019) and Microsoft Office products (Office, Office 365 ProPlus, Excel Viewer, PowerPoint Viewer, Word Viewer). This vulnerability carries a high CVSS score of 7.8, indicating a significant risk where an attacker could achieve high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts with low attack complexity, though user interaction is required.

Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, with only one article noting its inclusion in a past patch Tuesday.
