CVE-2026-64901
Microsoft SharePoint Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Description
Deserialization of untrusted data in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
In plain language
AI Act nowCVE-2026-64901 is a Microsoft SharePoint Server issue where an attacker with low-level access can run malicious code on your server over the network; most small businesses should treat this as urgent because it can fully compromise the SharePoint server once reachable.
Microsoft SharePoint Server remote code execution (CWE-502) can be triggered by an attacker with low privileges by tricking SharePoint into processing unsafe/untrusted data, leading to arbitrary code execution over the network (no user interaction required).
What to do now
- 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.
- Compare your build/version to the fixed versions listed by Microsoft for CVE-2026-64901.
- 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).
- 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.
