1) Introduction
===============
WPS Office (an acronym for Writer, Presentation and Spreadsheets,[2] previously known as Kingsoft Office) is an office
suite for Microsoft Windows, Linux,[1] iOS[3] and Android OS,[4] developed by Zhuhai-basedChinese software developer Kingsoft.
WPS Office is a suite of software which is made up of three primary components: WPS Writer, WPS Presentation, and WPS Spreadsheet.
The personal basic version is free to use, but a watermark is printed on all printed output after the 30 day trial ends.

3) Technical details
============================
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of WPS.
User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must open a malicious file.
By providing a malformed .xls file, an attacker can cause an heap memory corruption.
An attacker could leverage this to execute arbitrary code under the context of the WPS Spreadsheet process.
