Microsoft Excel XLM Macro Security Level Bypass Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been reported to affect Microsoft Excel that could be exploited by an attacker to execute an XLM macro regardless of the macro security level. The issue has been reported to present itself due to a failure by Excel to sufficiently scan a malicious spreadsheet file before opening it. As a result of this failure an XLM macro embedded in a malicious spreadsheet will be executed when the document is opened, without Excel presenting a macro security warning and regardless of Excel macro security settings.
