CVE-2026-88200 Oct 13, 19:21 HIGH PATCH Exploit Unlikely This Week

Privilege escalation in Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition allows an authenticated remote attacker holding only low-privilege credentials to elevate privileges over the network without any user interaction. The flaw is a privilege context switching error (CWE-270) affecting 16.0.0 builds below 16.0.20326.20190, and a vendor patch is available through the Microsoft Security Response Center. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA's SSVC assessment rates the issue as not automatable, so while technical impact is total, the practical risk is elevated rather than emergency-tier.

CVE-2026-34853 Apr 13, 03:54 HIGH This Week

A permission bypass in the Location-Based Services (LBS) module of Huawei HarmonyOS and EMUI lets code that reaches the module's permission-checked interface operate outside its intended privilege context, with the vendor describing the resulting impact as availability-only. Affected baselines are HarmonyOS 4.0.0, 4.2.0, 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 plus EMUI 14.0.0, 14.2.0 and 15.0.0. Signals conflict on reachability: the published CVSS 3.1 vector (7.5) asserts network-reachable, unauthenticated attack (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N), while the independent assessment scores it AV:L/PR:L with no confidentiality or integrity impact, implying attacker-controlled code already running on the device is the realistic prerequisite. There is no KEV listing, SSVC records no observed exploitation and marks the issue not automatable, EPSS is 0.01%, and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.
