MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

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.

Emergency Immediate action required. Why: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited), no patch available.
Exploited in the wild (CISA KEV) No patch listed yet 90.5% exploitation probability (EPSS)
