Description
“Follina,”as reported in Techcrunch and elsewhere ticks all the wrong boxes and impacts 41 Microsoft products including Windows 11 and Office 365. Huntress research even identified a way to have this execute without the user even having to CLICK anything (hovering over the icon can trigger the exploit!).
The good news is that although there is no official patch – Microsoft have issued an advisory which includes information on a registry key you can delete, to mitigate the risk.
