Deserialization of untrusted data in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an attacker authenticated with low privileges to execute arbitrary code over a network via unsafe deserialization of user-controlled data. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) confirms full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact with no user interaction required. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and SharePoint is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog based on available data.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) is the root cause class - the application deserializes attacker-controlled data without sufficient validation, allowing the attacker to craft a malicious serialized object that, when processed by the server, triggers arbitrary code execution. Microsoft SharePoint is an enterprise collaboration and document management platform built on .NET, which uses binary or XML serialization formats (e.g., BinaryFormatter, DataContractSerializer) in various subsystems. Insecure deserialization in .NET applications is a well-established attack class with known gadget chains. No CPE string was provided in the input data, so exact affected product versions cannot be specified from CPE alone; the vendor advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-70321 should be consulted for precise version information.
RemediationAI
Apply the security update issued by Microsoft for this vulnerability, referenced at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-70321. An exact patched version number was not confirmed in the available intelligence data; consult the MSRC advisory directly to identify the correct Cumulative Update for your SharePoint version and farm configuration. As an interim compensating control, restrict network access to SharePoint administrative and API endpoints to trusted IP ranges, reducing the attacker's ability to submit crafted serialized payloads. Enforcing multi-factor authentication on all SharePoint accounts raises the effective privilege bar above 'low' in practice, mitigating risk without eliminating it. Review SharePoint service account privileges and ensure they run with least-privilege permissions to limit post-exploitation blast radius.
