Synopsis

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016 < 16.0.5056.1001 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Microsoft SharePoint application running on the remote host is 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.

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft SharePoint when the software fails to check the source markup of an application package.

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft SharePoint Server when it fails to properly identify and filter unsafe ASP.

- A spoofing vulnerability exists when Microsoft SharePoint Server does not properly sanitize a specially crafted web request to an affected SharePoint server.

- A tampering vulnerability exists when Microsoft SharePoint Server fails to properly handle profile data.

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft SharePoint where APIs aren't properly protected from unsafe data input.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
