Microsoft is warning users about issues, and the Indian govt raised an alarm as well<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Windows and Microsoft Office have been warned about a critical security risk by the Indian government earlier this month. The alert comes via the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team or CERT-In in July 2025 and it will be alarming for millions of PC users who rely on Windows, and other Microsoft products like Office, Azure used by businesses and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you would assume, the new issues pose concerns for their systems and how hackers can manipulate them to extract data and other confidential content from the targeted PCs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The latest CERT-In alert comes with a high-severity rating and gives us more details about the security issues and how it can affect users. \u201cMultiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Products, which could allow an attacker to gain elevated privileges, obtain sensitive information, conduct remote code execution attacks, bypass security restrictions, conduct spoofing attacks, cause denial of service conditions or tamper with system settings,” the note says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All of these modes of attacks can become dangerous for all users, both personal and business segments. Exploiting the issues could make it easy for hackers to bypass the device security, steal data and even initiate system crashes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
