An overview of the updates can be found on this website (and here for this month). Details are documented in the linked KB articles. The updates are available for the installable MSI version of Microsoft Office (the Click-to-Run packages obtain the updates via other channels). Office 2019/2021/2024 does not appear in the list because it is distributed via Click-to-Run packages and receives security updates via the Office Update feature.
