Emergency Alert: Outlook Security Flaw

Databranch has been tracking a Microsoft Outlook security flaw, CVE-2023-23397.

The critical Outlook exploit affects both 32 and 64-bit versions of Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise. Office 2013, 2016, and 2019.

It is triggered by sending a malicious email (which doesn’t even need to be opened) that lets attackers capture the Net-NTLMv2 hash (challenge response protocols used for authentication in Windows environments) of the recipient and thereby authenticate as the victim.

More information can be found here.

Microsoft has released a patch to address some instances of Outlook.

If you are a managed maintenance client, we are actively working to patch vulnerable instances of Outlook for you. 

You may see the following prompts as your client is updated.
