The Mail Merge tool in Microsoft Word does not prompt the user before executing Visual Basic (VBA) scripts in an Access database, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
The Office 2000 UA ActiveX Control is marked as "safe for scripting," which allows remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via the "Show Me" function in Office Help, aka the "Office 2000 UA Control" vulnerability.
Buffer overflow in the conversion utilities for Japanese, Korean and Chinese Word 5 documents allows an attacker to execute commands, aka the "Malformed Conversion Data" vulnerability.
Internet Explorer 4.x or 5.x with Word 97 allows arbitrary execution of Visual Basic programs to the IE client through the Word 97 template, which doesn't warn the user that the template contains executable content. Also applies to Outlook when the client views a malicious email message.
