Excel.createWorkbook() and insertWorksheetsFromBase64 crash if Extension hardening is enabled

[tincann]

Provide required information needed to triage your issue

Your Environment

• Platform: PC desktop
• Host: Excel
• Office version number: 2208
• Operating System: Windows

Expected behavior

The following Office JS API methods to work as intended:

1. Excel.createWorkbook("<base64 xlsx file>")
2. Excel.run(async c => c.workbook.insertWorksheetsFromBase64("<base64 xlsx file>"))

Current behavior

Method 1 gives an internal API exception
Method 2 crashes the whole Excel window

We have isolated the reason for the crash. It seems that the crash is related to the registry value of:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\excel\security\extensionhardening

• If this is set to value 2 then the two API methods will crash.
• If this is set to value 1 or 0 the methods work as intended.

Steps to reproduce

Set the registry value to value 2 and run the following two commands in the javascript console in an (empty) add-in:

Context

We are unsure if this is expected behavior, but it was unexpected from the point of view of our users, and it cost us some debugging time to isolate the reason. In any case, the exception message can be improved, or the crash to desktop fixed.

Thank you for letting us know about this issue. We will take a look shortly. Thanks.

Hi @tincann ,

I can repro your issue. We will check and investigate this issue later.

Thanks for your support.

[ZYUN-MSFT]

Hi @tincann ,

We have created an internal BUG 8235002 to track this issue. Once we got the update we will sync the information back to this thread.

Thanks for your support of Office Addin.

[tincann]

Hi @ZYUN-MSFT ,

Do you happen to have an update on when BUG 8235002 might be planned?

Thanks in advance.

[tincann]

Hi @ZYUN-MSFT! Checking in to see if there's an update on this issue, or if there are any workarounds?

[ZYUN-MSFT]

Hi @tincann ,

Sorry for the late reply here, I will contact the internal team to see if there is any plan of it.

[SiruiSun-MSFT]

Hi @tincann, Thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, this bug is still in the backlog. We will start the investigation ASAP when we have the bandwidth. Or you can provide the scale of affected users, it will help us re-prioritize this bug.

Thanks for your patience!

[tincann]

Hi @SiruiSun-MSFT, thanks for your reply. This is currently affecting one of our bigger corporate customers. They've created a temporary security exception for the user group that is making use our add-in. Their IT department is doing periodic checks to see whether the exception can be lifted (i.e. turning extension hardening back on). Other than fixing the bug, it would help to get more information on the impact of turning extension hardening off. For example, our other large customers do not seem to have this setting enabled and this is approved by their IT department.

@ZYUN-MSFT @SiruiSun-MSFT Gentle reminder of my previous reply. Just checking in if there's an update.
