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 allows an authenticated network attacker to perform spoofing attacks against users by injecting malicious script content into web pages served by the platform. Affected deployments include SharePoint Server Subscription Edition prior to build 16.0.19725.20522 and SharePoint Server 2019 prior to build 16.0.10417.20198. Exploitation requires victim interaction (UI:R) and attacker authentication (PR:L), and no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis per SSVC data.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) describes a failure to sanitize user-controlled input before it is rendered in HTML context, allowing injected JavaScript or HTML to execute in a victim's browser session. The CVSS scope indicator S:C confirms the vulnerability crosses a security boundary - injected script executing in the victim's browser can access the SharePoint session context and potentially other browser-accessible resources. The affected components are identified by CPE as cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:sharepoint_server:*:*:*:*:subscription:*:*:* and cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:sharepoint_server:2019:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering both the Subscription Edition and the 2019 on-premises release lines. SharePoint's collaborative content model - where authorized users can contribute pages, lists, or web parts - creates natural injection surfaces if input is not properly encoded on output.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: upgrade SharePoint Server Subscription Edition to build 16.0.19725.20522 or later, and SharePoint Server 2019 to build 16.0.10417.20198 or later, as confirmed by EUVD-2026-56292. Apply the relevant Cumulative Update or Security Update from Microsoft's Update Guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-62829. If patching cannot be applied immediately, restrict the ability of low-privileged users to create or edit pages and web parts - note this may disrupt collaboration workflows. Additionally, enabling Content Security Policy (CSP) headers at the reverse proxy or WAF layer to restrict script execution origins can reduce XSS blast radius, though SharePoint's rich client-side functionality may require careful CSP tuning to avoid breaking features. Review SharePoint site permissions and apply least-privilege principles to limit which users can contribute injectable content.
