Doc Macro Exploit 2025
In 2025, the Doc Macro Exploit 2025 emerged as a significant cybersecurity threat, capitalizing on vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office documents to deliver malicious payloads. This sophisticated exploit framework leverages macro-based attacks, often embedded in DOC or DOCX files, to execute remote code without user interaction beyond opening a compromised document.
Notably, vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-21365 exploit flaws in Office’s Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) processing, bypassing traditional macro warnings and enabling stealthy execution of malicious scripts. Attackers distribute these exploits through phishing emails or compromised file shares, targeting unpatched systems to deploy ransomware or steal sensitive data. To mitigate risks, organizations are urged to disable macros by default, enable Protected View, apply timely security patches, and educate users on recognizing phishing attempts.
