CVE-2026-64897 is a spoofing issue in Microsoft SharePoint where an authenticated attacker can inject malicious web content during page generation (improper neutralization of input, i.e., cross-site scripting) and mislead other users who view the altered pages.
What to do now
- Check which Microsoft SharePoint versions you run (Enterprise Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019, or SharePoint Server Subscription Edition) and review whether your environment includes users who can edit or post content.
- If you are on an affected version, plan an upgrade/patch to the first fixed version for your branch: 16.0.5565.1001 (Enterprise Server 2016) or 16.0.10417.20198 (SharePoint Server 2019) or 16.0.19725.20522 (Subscription Edition).
- After patching, verify your SharePoint build/version matches the fixed version and confirm normal page rendering for impacted sites.
- Review SharePoint content changes and user activity for unusual or unexpected edits around the time of the upgrade window, and remove any suspicious or recently added content pages.
