Sårbarhet i Microsoft Excel möjliggör datastöld med Copilot

En sårbarhet i Microsoft Excel kombinerar kalkylblad och Copilot-agenten för att potentiellt stjäla data, enligt TechRadar. Sårbarheten beskrivs som fascinerande i sitt angreppssätt. Rapporten publicerades den 11 mars 2026.

TechRadar har uppmärksammat en säkerhetsbrist i Microsoft Excel där kalkylblad samverkar med Copilot-agenten för att underlätta datastöld. Artikeltiteln hänvisar till denna sårbarhet som 'fascinating', vilket antyder en innovativ eller oväntad metod för utnyttjande. The description provided in the report states, 'Det finns mer än ett sätt att flå en Excel-tabell', vilket antyder kreativa användningar av Excels funktioner som går bortom standardfunktionaliteten. Detta pekar på hur mjukvarans kapaciteter kan missbrukas i kombination med AI-verktyg som Copilot. Inga ytterligare tekniska detaljer eller tidslinjer anges i den tillgängliga informationen, men publiceringsdatumet för artikeln är 11 mars 2026 kl. 17:30 UTC. Denna upptäckt understryker de pågående farhågorna för datasäkerhet i produktivitetsmjukvara som är integrerad med AI-agenter.
