Deserialization of untrusted data in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Microsoft SharePoint Server (Enterprise Server 2016, Server 2019, and Subscription Edition) allows an authenticated attacker (PR:L) to run arbitrary code over the network by submitting maliciously crafted serialized data that the server deserializes without validation. Microsoft has released a patch and no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is modest at 0.50% (66th percentile) and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as 'none' but technical impact as 'total'. The bug follows the well-known SharePoint deserialization RCE pattern (CWE-502), making it a high-value target for post-authentication lateral movement and full server compromise.
Technical ContextAI
SharePoint is Microsoft's on-premises collaboration and document-management platform built on ASP.NET and the .NET Framework, which relies heavily on object serialization (e.g., BinaryFormatter/ObjectStateFormatter/LosFormatter and related .NET serializers) to persist and transport control state and workflow data. The root cause is CWE-502, Deserialization of Untrusted Data: the application reconstructs .NET objects from attacker-influenced serialized input without adequately validating the type or content, allowing a crafted gadget chain to trigger code execution during or after deserialization. The affected CPEs are cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:microsoft_sharepoint_enterprise_server_2016, cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:microsoft_sharepoint_server_2019, and cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:microsoft_sharepoint_server_subscription_edition, all server-side on-premises SKUs where the vulnerable code runs in the context of the SharePoint/IIS application pool identity.
RemediationAI
Apply the Microsoft security update referenced in MSRC advisory https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-33112 as the primary fix, upgrading to at least SharePoint Subscription Edition 16.0.19725.20280, SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 16.0.5552.1002, or SharePoint Server 2019 16.0.10417.20128 depending on your deployment; SharePoint updates typically require running the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard (PSConfig) on each farm server after installing the binaries, so schedule a maintenance window because the farm may be temporarily offline. Where immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by removing SharePoint from direct internet reachability (place it behind VPN or a reverse proxy with strict authentication), enforcing least-privilege on SharePoint accounts to shrink the pool of authenticated users who could exploit PR:L, and monitoring for anomalous serialized payloads or unexpected w3wp.exe/child-process activity; note these controls limit but do not eliminate risk since any valid authenticated user remains a potential vector. Confirm AMSI integration for SharePoint is enabled if supported in your version, as it can block some deserialization exploit payloads at runtime with minimal operational side effects.
