The CERT-In post says the Dynamics 365 Field Service (on-premises) v7 series is the version that is affected by the security risk and the update needs to be installed for systems running on this Dynamics 365 version right away.
This is the latest Windows threat that poses risk to millions of PC users in the country, which even includes businesses that rely on their systems to run the Microsoft operating system.
