Microsoft Office: Big bug found, hackers can access camera and microphone
Microsoft Office: Bugs have been confirmed in Microsoft Office, Outlook, Teams, OneNote and other apps. With the help of these bugs, hackers can remotely access the microphone and camera of the users' system.
Many Microsoft apps were reported with bugs. Microsoft found these bugs in the Mac OS version. These bugs are confirmed in Microsoft Office, Outlook, Teams, Onenote, and other apps. Hackers using these bugs can get remote access to the microphone and camera of the user's system. Microsoft fixed the bug for two of these apps and has released an update.
Cyber security group Cisco Talos has now revealed eight flaws found in Microsoft's apps for macOS in a blog post. These flaws would have permitted hackers to inject some specially designed malware libraries into six Microsoft apps—Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and OneNote—and bypass Apple's permission model on macOS.
According to Apple's TCC framework on macOS, malware software that wants to grant access to a user's microphone or camera has to get permission from them. Studies with the help of this malware have shown how hackers could get permission themselves.
