AI Analysis

Impact

Improper neutralization of user input during SharePoint web page rendering enables a cross‑site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that an attacker can exploit to spoof legitimate content over the network. This flaw allows the attacker to insert malicious code into pages that will be interpreted by other users, potentially feigning authority or identity and undermining user trust.

Affected Systems

Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition (available version details not provided).

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 4.6, indicating moderate severity. EPSS information is unavailable and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an attacker to have authorized access to the SharePoint environment, after which the XSS can be leveraged to perform spoofing. The moderate CVSS coupled with the need for legitimate credentials suggests that while the risk is not critical, it remains a meaningful concern for Active SharePoint deployments.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Microsoft security updates for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.
  • Configure SharePoint to apply strict input sanitization and enforce a Content Security Policy that blocks reflected XSS.
  • Restrict user permissions so that only trusted users can create or edit web pages that contain untrusted user input.
  • Monitor web application logs for anomalous script injections and conduct regular vulnerability scans.
