On 21 April 2020 Microsoft released a security advisory to address multiple vulnerabilities found in the Autodesk FBX library which is integrated into certain Microsoft applications.

The Cyber Centre encourages users and administrators to review the Microsoft Security Advisory and apply the necessary updates:
