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
Stored or reflected cross-site scripting in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an authenticated low-privileged attacker to inject script that executes in another user's browser session, enabling spoofing and high-impact disclosure or modification of data rendered in the victim's context. The CVSS 7.3 vector requires user interaction and existing access to the SharePoint site, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw is consistent with the CWE-79 class of input neutralization failures during web page generation.
Technical ContextAI
Microsoft Office SharePoint is an enterprise collaboration and document-management platform that renders user-supplied content (list items, web part properties, document metadata, comments, page fields) inside HTML responses. CWE-79 indicates the server fails to neutralize special characters before reflecting input into generated pages, so attacker-controlled markup or script is parsed by the victim browser as part of the trusted SharePoint origin. Because SharePoint shares a single-sign-on session with other Microsoft 365 services, script executing in that origin inherits the victim's authenticated context for SharePoint content APIs.
RemediationAI
Apply the Microsoft security update referenced in the MSRC advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-45481 once the exact build for your SharePoint edition is identified; the supplied data does not include a fixed version, so this is treated as patch available per vendor advisory. Until patching, reduce exposure by restricting site-creation and contributor permissions to trusted users (since PR:L access is needed to plant payloads), enforcing the SharePoint HTML Field Security setting to strip script from rich-text fields, and ensuring the X-XSS-Protection and Content-Security-Policy headers configured by the farm are not relaxed by custom master pages - note that tightening CSP can break legacy web parts and custom script extensions, so test in a staging collection. For SharePoint Online tenants, Microsoft typically patches centrally, so verify the message-center notice for tenant rollout status rather than assuming immediate coverage.
