CVE-2015-2545 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Office’s handling of Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) content. Affected versions include Microsoft Office 2007 SP3, 2010 SP2, 2013 SP1, and 2013 RT SP1. The flaw is described as an EPS parsing vulnerability in the EPSIMP32.FLT module and can be triggered when Office processes a specially crafted EPS image embedded in a document, including weaponized Word and MHTML-based documents. Successful exploitation allows attacker-controlled code to execute in the context of the Office application process, typically WINWORD.EXE. The vulnerability was exploited in the wild in targeted spear-phishing campaigns and was commonly used as an initial access vector to deliver malware or chain into local privilege-escalation exploits for full system compromise.
