Impact

Deserialization of untrusted data in Microsoft SharePoint allows an attacker who can authenticate to the system to execute arbitrary code. Based on the description, it is inferred that successful exploitation would grant the attacker the same privileges as the user who supplied the data, potentially leading to full compromise of the SharePoint server.

Affected Systems

Affected products are Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019, and Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. Version details are not specified in the CVE entry, so the flaw applies to the mentioned releases at all patch levels unless otherwise corrected by a vendor update.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating high severity, and an EPSS score of 3%, reflecting a low but non‑negligible likelihood of exploitation. It is now listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is an authenticated user who can supply data that the server deserializes; an attacker requires legitimate SharePoint access but not elevated privileges to begin exploitation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Microsoft security update for SharePoint 2016, 2019, and the Subscription Edition that fixes the deserialization flaw, following the guidance in the Microsoft Security Response Center update guide.
  • Limit or disable the deserialization of untrusted data by removing custom deserialization routines or configuring the application to reject data from untrusted sources.
  • Enforce least‑privilege access controls so that only users with the minimal necessary permissions can supply data that will be deserialized, and monitor SharePoint logs.
