CVE-2025-21308 Windows Themes Spoofing Vulnerability Important 6.5 Yes No   Systems that have disabled NTLM are not affected. Spoofing Exploitation Less Likely
CVE-2025-21298 Windows OLE Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Critical 9.8 No No In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted email to the victim. Exploitation of the vulnerability might involve either a victim opening a specially crafted email with an affected version of Microsoft Outlook software, or a victim’s Outlook application displaying a preview of a specially crafted email . This could result in the attacker executing remote code on the victim’s machine.
