Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.
AnalysisAI
Cross-site scripting in Microsoft SharePoint Server (2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition) enables low-privileged authenticated attackers to perform spoofing attacks over a network without requiring user interaction. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network-reachable exploitation by any authenticated SharePoint user with no further interaction required from a victim. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA SSVC classifies exploitation status as none, though vendor patches are available for all three affected product lines.
Technical ContextAI
Microsoft SharePoint Server is an enterprise web-based collaboration and document management platform built on ASP.NET. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) in the NVD/EUVD data, yet the CVE description identifies the root cause as CWE-79-class improper input neutralization during web page generation - a notable inconsistency. The tags supplied include both 'XSS' and 'Deserialization', suggesting the root cause may be deserialized content that is subsequently rendered without proper output encoding, creating an XSS-reachable spoofing surface. Affected CPE data (inferred from EUVD versions) covers SharePoint's core server component across the 16.0.x release branch: Subscription Edition prior to 16.0.19725.20384, SharePoint Server 2019 prior to 16.0.10417.20153, and SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 prior to 16.0.5556.1005.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patches are available for all three affected product lines. Upgrade Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition to 16.0.19725.20384 or later, SharePoint Server 2019 to 16.0.10417.20153 or later, and SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 to 16.0.5556.1005 or later. Consult the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-48560 for the specific cumulative update (CU) packages applicable to each product. If patching cannot be applied immediately, consider restricting SharePoint access to trusted internal networks or authenticated VPN segments, which reduces the network-accessible attack surface. Additionally, reviewing and tightening SharePoint user permissions to minimize the pool of accounts with contributor-level or higher access limits who can trigger the vulnerability, though this may affect legitimate collaboration workflows. Note that the CWE-502 tag may indicate deserialization is involved - if confirmed by Microsoft, organizations should also review SharePoint's list of trusted deserialization sources as a compensating control.
