What to do now

  1. Check whether you run Microsoft SharePoint Server (SharePoint Server, Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019, or Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition) and review your currently installed SharePoint build/version.
  2. Compare your build/version to the fixed versions listed by Microsoft for CVE-2026-64901.
  3. Upgrade/apply the Microsoft security update(s) so your SharePoint build is at least: 16.0.19725.20522 (SharePoint Server and Subscription Edition), 16.0.5565.1001 (Enterprise Server 2016), or 16.0.10417.20198 (Server 2019).
  4. If you can’t patch immediately, restrict network access to SharePoint as much as possible and reduce the number of accounts with low-level permissions that could reach the vulnerable paths.
