The Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - 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-2020-16946)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft SharePoint Server fails to properly handle     objects in memory. An attacker who successfully     exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to     further compromise the users system.  (CVE-2020-16948,     CVE-2020-16953)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists when     Microsoft SharePoint Server improperly discloses its     folder structure when rendering specific web pages. An     attacker who took advantage of this information     disclosure could view the folder path of scripts loaded     on the page. To take advantage of the vulnerability, an     attacker would require access to the specific SharePoint     page affected by this vulnerability. The security update     addresses the vulnerability by correcting how scripts     are referenced on some SharePoint pages.
    (CVE-2020-16941, CVE-2020-16942)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in     Microsoft Excel software when the software fails to     properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who     successfully exploited the vulnerability could run     arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If     the current user is logged on with administrative user     rights, an attacker could take control of the affected     system. An attacker could then install programs; view,     change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full     user rights.  (CVE-2020-16929)
