For the benefit of the cybersecurity community and network defenders—and to help every organization better manage vulnerabilities and keep pace with threat activity—CISA maintains the authoritative source of vulnerabilities that have been exploited in the wild.

Description :

Microsoft SharePoint Server on-premises contains a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability that could allow an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

Required Action :

CISA recommends configuring AMSI integration in SharePoint and deploying Defender AV on all SharePoint servers. If AMSI cannot be enabled, CISA recommends disconnecting affected products that are public-facing on the internet from service until official mitigations are available. Once mitigations are provided, apply them according to CISA and vendor instructions. Follow the applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are not available.
