CVE-2002-0616
The Macro Security Model in Microsoft Excel 2000 and 2002 for Windows allows remote attackers to execute code by attaching an inline macro to an object within an Excel workbook, aka the "Excel Inline Macros Vulnerability."
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (9.72%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
