A recently disclosed critical security flaw impacting SAP NetWeaver is being exploited by multiple China-nexus nation-state actors to target critical infrastructure networks. "Actors leveraged CVE-2025-31324, an unauthenticated file upload vulnerability that enables remote code execution (RCE)," EclecticIQ researcher Arda Büyükkaya said in an analysis published today. Targets of the campaign

Stack-based buffer overflow in Windows Media allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could successfully exploit this vulnerability by attempting to connect to a system with the Remote Desktop Gateway role, triggering the race condition to create a use-after-free scenario, and then leveraging this to execute arbitrary code.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to prepare the target environment to improve exploit reliability.

Use after free in Microsoft Office allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

Deserialization of untrusted data in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

Out-of-bounds read in Microsoft Office Excel allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.
