| Impact | Critical risk (CVSS 9.8, EPSS 90.5%). SharePoint Server is widely deployed in enterprise environments for document management and collaboration. Unauthenticated RCE provides direct access to sensitive corporate data and Active Directory integration. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker sends crafted HTTP requests containing malicious serialized .NET objects to an on-premises SharePoint server. The server deserializes the payload, executing code that provides shell access to the server, from which the attacker accesses SharePoint content and pivots to Active Directory. |
