Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2015-2545 is a Microsoft Office remote code execution flaw involving malformed EPS image handling. A user must interact with crafted content, but successful exploitation can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Because CISA lists it in KEV, treat remaining legacy Office exposure as a real-world risk, not a theoretical issue. Exposure is most likely on endpoints still running the named legacy Office versions, especially where users handle external Office documents or EPS-containing content. The affected data in the bundle is not normalized, so product/version inventory is necessary before scoping impact. Prioritize this as high where legacy Office remains. KEV status means exploitation has been observed, and the business risk is endpoint compromise through user-opened content. If all affected Office versions are patched or removed, confirm evidence and close residual exposure. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance and security updates from MS15-099.; Identify and retire unsupported legacy Office installations where possible.; Prioritize remediation for internet-facing, email-heavy, and high-risk user groups..
