Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Microsoft SharePoint Server (affected versions not specified)
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation (affected versions not specified)
Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This vulnerability occurs when Microsoft SharePoint Server does not properly sanitize a specially crafted web request. An authenticated attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted request to an affected SharePoint server. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to perform cross-site scripting attacks, read unauthorized content, use the victim's identity to take actions on the SharePoint site, and inject malicious content into the user's browser.
Recommendations
For Microsoft SharePoint Server, consider restricting access to sensitive areas of the server until a fix is available.
For Microsoft SharePoint Foundation, restrict the ability to send specially crafted requests to the server as a temporary mitigation measure.
For Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling any functionality that allows the execution of scripts in the context of the current user until a patch is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
