Excel: Python in Excel for the web (GCC)

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft has rolled back the Python in Excel feature for GCC, preventing users from running Python formulas in Excel for the web. This temporarily removes a potential new attack surface and associated data exfiltration risks.

The Impact

GCC users are affected by the removal of a feature that could have introduced new security risks related to code execution and data handling.

• GCC users cannot use Python in Excel, avoiding new data processing risks.
• Security teams avoid immediate review of new code execution vectors.
• Compliance officers avoid assessing new data handling requirements.
