The Microsoft Sharepoint Server installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Word software when it fails to properly handle     objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited the vulnerability could use a specially     crafted file to perform actions in the security context     of the current user. For example, the file could then     take actions on behalf of the logged-on user with the     same permissions as the current user.  (CVE-2019-0585)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft Word macro buttons are used improperly. An     attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability     could read arbitrary files from a targeted system.
    (CVE-2019-0561)

  - A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when     Microsoft SharePoint Server does not properly sanitize a     specially crafted web request to an affected SharePoint     server. An authenticated attacker could exploit the     vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to     an affected SharePoint server. The attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could then     perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems     and run script in the security context of the current     user. The attacks could allow the attacker to read     content that the attacker is not authorized to read, use     the victim's identity to take actions on the SharePoint     site on behalf of the user, such as change permissions     and delete content, and inject malicious content in the     browser of the user. The security update addresses the     vulnerability by helping to ensure that SharePoint     Server properly sanitizes web requests. (CVE-2019-0556,     CVE-2019-0557, CVE-2019-0558)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when     Microsoft SharePoint Server does not properly sanitize a     specially crafted web request to an affected SharePoint     server. An authenticated attacker could exploit the     vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to     an affected SharePoint server. The attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could then     perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems     and run script in the security context of the current     user. These attacks could allow the attacker to read     content that the attacker is not authorized to read, use     the victim's identity to take actions on the SharePoint     site on behalf of the user, such as change permissions     and delete content, and inject malicious content in the     browser of the user. The security update addresses the     vulnerability by helping to ensure that SharePoint     Server properly sanitizes web requests. (CVE-2019-0562)
