Impact

Improper access control in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to disclose information over a network. The flaw permits authenticated users to access data beyond their intended scope, potentially revealing sensitive documents, configuration settings, or user information. This breach can compromise confidentiality and expose internal resources to external observers, undermining trust and regulatory compliance.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. No specific affected versions are listed, so all installations of this product may be at risk until a patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.9 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available, suggesting limited exploitation data at present.
