S-349: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Excel
There are multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities in the Excel. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by opening a specially crafted file which could be hosted on a Web site, or included as an e-mail attachment. The risk is MEDIUM. Depending on the attack scenario, the vulnerability could lead to remote code execution ona user's local Excel client, or it could lead to elevation of privilage within a SharePoint Server.

excel::template::element::cell

Excel::Template::Element::Cell(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Excel::Template::Element::Cell(3pm)

NAME

       Excel::Template::Element::Cell - Excel::Template::Element::Cell

PURPOSE

       To actually write stuff to the worksheet

NODE NAME

       CELL

INHERITANCE

       ELEMENT

ATTRIBUTES

       o   TEXT

	   This is the text to write to the cell. This can either be text or a parameter with a dollar-sign in front of the parameter name.

       o   COL

	   Optionally, you can specify which column you want this cell to be in. It can be either a number (zero-based) or an offset. See
	   Excel::Template for more info on offset-based numbering.

       o   REF

	   Adds the current cell to the a list of cells that can be backreferenced.  This is useful when the current cell needs to be referenced
	   by a formula. See BACKREF and RANGE.

       o   WIDTH

	   Sets the width of the column the cell is in. The last setting for a given column will win out.

       o   TYPE

	   This allows you to specify what write_*() method will be used. The default is to call write() and let Spreadsheet::WriteExcel make the
	   right call. However, you may wish to override it. Excel::Template will not do any form of validation on what you provide. You are
	   assumed to know what you're doing.

	   The legal types (taken from Spreadsheet::WriteExcel) are:

       o   COMMENT

	   Add a comment to the cell

	   o   blank

	   o   formula

	   o   number

	   o   string

	   o   url

	   o   date_time

	   other write_* methods as defined defined Spreadsheet::WriteExcel would be integrated by request

CHILDREN

       FORMULA

EFFECTS

       This will consume one column in the current row.

DEPENDENCIES

       None

USAGE

	 <cell text="Some Text Here"/>
	 <cell>Some other text here</cell>

	 <cell text="$Param2"/>
	 <cell>Some <var name="Param"> text here</cell>

       In the above example, four cells are written out. The first two have text hard-coded. The second two have variables. The third and fourth
       items have another thing that should be noted. If you have text where you want a variable in the middle, you have to use the latter form.
       Variables within parameters are the entire parameter's value.

       Please see Spreadsheet::WriteExcel for what constitutes a legal formula.
