MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated low-privileged user account on a ManageEngine SharePoint Manager Plus instance running build 4506 or earlier, plus network reachability to the application. The specific weakness is missing authorization enforcement (CWE-862) on the MFA configuration functionality, allowing that low-privileged account to read/modify MFA settings, enable or disable MFA application-wide, enumerate MFA-enrolled users, and delete MFA-enrolled accounts. Limiting factors: exploitation is NOT possible without valid credentials despite the input vector's PR:N, so exposure depends on who holds accounts; impact is confined to the SPMP application's authentication posture and availability. The only complete fix stated by the vendor is upgrading to build 4507; no other mitigation is described in the available sources. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority issue (vuln.today Decision label: this_week) rather than an emergency. The strongest real-world signal is a direct conflict in the input that must be resolved before acting: the supplied CVSS 4.0 vector asserts PR:N (unauthenticated), but the vulnerability description explicitly states that a 'low-privileged authenticated user' performs the exploit (CWE-862, Missing Authorization). These cannot both be true - the flaw is a post-authentication authorization bypass, so the PR:N metric appears incorrect and the real prerequisite is a valid low-privilege account. This materially lowers exploitability versus a true network-unauthenticated bug. No CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score, and no proof-of-concept are present in the input, so there is no evidence of active or at-scale exploitation; the sole reference is a ManageEngine vendor post announcing the fixed build. The supplied CVSS 4.0 impact set (VC:N/VI:L/VA:N with subsequent-system SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) and the 7.9 score reflect that the damage is to the application's authentication posture and availability (MFA can be disabled app-wide, enrolled accounts deleted, legitimate users locked out) rather than data confidentiality. Net: a genuine security-control-weakening and denial-of-service risk for organizations running SharePoint Manager Plus, but gated behind authentication and with no exploitation evidence - prioritize patching this week, not as a same-day emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privilege account in SharePoint Manager Plus (for example a compromised or rogue internal user) sends requests to the MFA configuration endpoints, which fail to enforce authorization. They disable MFA for the whole application to weaken authentication, or delete MFA-enrolled accounts and set invalid MFA settings to lock legitimate users out. No public proof-of-concept is identified at time of analysis, though the vendor advisory notes the reproduction was performed against build 4506. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
ManageEngine SharePoint Manager Plus build 4506 and earlier fails to enforce authorization on its MFA configuration functions, so any authenticated low-privileged user can read or change MFA settings, enable or disable MFA application-wide, enumerate MFA-enrolled users, and delete MFA enrollments. This can weaken authentication protections or lock legitimate users out of the application; the vendor fixed the issue in build 4507. It is a moderate-priority issue (vuln.today Decision label: this_week) rather than an emergency, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade ManageEngine SharePoint Manager Plus to build 4507, which the vendor identifies as the fix; the vendor reproduction used build 4506. The available sources state that upgrading is the only complete fix and describe no alternative mitigation or workaround. The release advisory is at https://pitstop.manageengine.com/portal/en/community/topic/sharepoint-manager-plus-build-4507-released. Because exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account, exposure is limited to environments where such accounts exist and can reach the application.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the multi-factor authentication administration functionality inside ManageEngine SharePoint Manager Plus, a web-based management console for Microsoft SharePoint. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) means the MFA configuration operations do not verify that the caller holds an administrative role before performing privileged actions, so a valid low-privileged session is enough to invoke them. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:manageengine:sharepoint_manager_plus:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the product family without a version bound; the build-level boundary comes from the vendor advisory, which states the flaw was fixed in build 4507 and reproduced on build 4506. The authoritative assessment scores this CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H, confirming that a valid low-privileged account is required; the supplied CVSS 4.0 vector lists PR:N, but that should not be read as unauthenticated exploitation. The trigger is the absence of role checks on MFA read/write, enrollment enumeration, and enrollment deletion operations; no memory-corruption or injection primitive is described.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
An improper access control vulnerability exists in the multi-factor authentication (MFA) functionality of ManageEngine SharePoint Manager Plus (SPMP). A low-privileged authenticated user can bypass authorization checks to read and modify MFA configuration settings, enable or disable MFA for the application, enumerate MFA-enrolled users, and delete MFA-enrolled accounts. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to weaken authentication protections or cause a denial of service by configuring invalid MFA settings, potentially locking legitimate users out of the application. This vulnerability was fixed in build 4507. The reproduction explicitly uses build 4506.
Executive ViewAI
ManageEngine SharePoint Manager Plus (build 4506 and earlier) contains a high-severity authorization flaw that allows any authenticated low-privileged user to view or modify MFA settings, including disabling MFA organization-wide and deleting MFA enrollments. This could enable attackers to weaken authentication protections or lock legitimate users out, directly impacting the security of SharePoint environments managed by the product. Leadership should prioritize remediation to prevent potential unauthorized access and operational disruption.
Vendor-released patch: build 4507. Until patched, restrict network access to SharePoint Manager Plus, enforce least privilege, and monitor MFA configuration changes for unauthorized alterations.
