CVE-2025-49706
Microsoft SharePoint
Microsoft SharePoint contains an improper authentication vulnerability that allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network. Successfully exploitation could allow an attacker to view sensitive information and make some changes to disclosed information. This vulnerability could be chained with CVE-2025-49704. CVE-2025-53771 is a patch bypass for CVE-2025-49706, and the updates for CVE-2025-53771 include more robust protection than those for CVE-2025-49706.
Exploitation status
- CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
- It is known to have been used in ransomware campaigns.
- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2025-07-23. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
Disconnect public-facing versions of SharePoint Server that have reached their end-of-life (EOL) or end-of-service (EOS) to include SharePoint Server 2013 and earlier versions. For supported versions, please follow the mitigations according to CISA (URL listed below in Notes) and vendor instructions (URL listed below in Notes). Adhere to the applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are not available.
