Check Point researchers discovered multiple severe vulnerabilities in Windows' Graphics Device Interface that allow remote attackers to execute code by tricking users into opening malicious Word documents or images. The most dangerous flaw, CVE-2025-53766, scores 9.8 on the severity scale and requires no user privileges to exploit. These bugs affect Windows 10, 11, and Office across platforms. Attackers can trigger them through rigged thumbnails or documents, potentially gaining full system control. The vulnerabilities stem from improper handling of Enhanced Metafile formats, causing buffer overflows and memory corruption. Microsoft patched these issues in recent updates, but the discovery highlights ongoing risks in legacy graphics code. Users should install patches immediately and enable automatic updates to stay protected. **Source:** [Cyber Security News](https://cybersecuritynews.com/windows-graphics-rce-vulnerabilities/)
