The Mail Merge Tool in Microsoft Word 2002 for Windows, when Microsoft Access is present on a system, allows remote attackers to execute Visual Basic (VBA) scripts within a mail merge document that is saved in HTML format, aka a "Variant of MS00-071, Word Mail Merge Vulnerability" (CVE-2000-0788).

The Mail Merge tool in Microsoft Word does not prompt the user before executing Visual Basic (VBA) scripts in an Access database, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
