CVE-2026-33113
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceCross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages generated by SharePoint. The improper neutralization of input enables attackers to perform spoofing attacks by tricking users into executing attacker-controlled code within the context of a trusted SharePoint site.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed SharePoint Server versionRun PowerShell command: Get-SPFarm | Select-Object BuildVersion. Or via Central Administration > System Settings > Manage servers in farmAffected if Version shows 2016 or 2019, OR build number is below 16.0.19725.20384
-
Confirm SharePoint edition is ServerRun PowerShell: (Get-SPFarm).Products. This returns GUIDs indicating installed products. SharePoint Server 2016/2019 will show product IDs for respective versions.Affected if Returns SharePoint Server 2016 or 2019 GUID
-
Identify web-facing sites accepting user inputReview web applications via Central Administration > Web Applications > Manage Web Applications. Identify sites with custom lists, forms, or web parts that accept user-submitted content.Affected if Any web-accessible site exists with user input forms, discussion boards, or custom web parts
-
Check for custom or third-party web partsReview deployed web parts via SharePoint Designer or: Get-SPWebPartPackage -WebApplication [url]. Focus on web parts that render user-supplied data.Affected if Custom or third-party web parts are deployed that handle user input
Your SharePoint Server 2016 or 2019 installation is affected if the build version is below 16.0.19725.20384 and web-facing sites accept any user-supplied content.

dbcve · scoped16.0.19725.20384
Apply Microsoft security patches for SharePoint when available; validate and encode all user inputs before rendering in web pages; implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate XSS execution.
SharePoint Server build 16.0.19725.20384 or later
- 1. Identify the current SharePoint Server version by navigating to SharePoint Central Administration > System Settings > Manage farm servers or running Get-SPFarm | Select-Object BuildVersion
- 2. Backup the SharePoint farm configuration and content databases before applying any updates
- 3. Download the security update for Microsoft SharePoint Server from the Microsoft Security Response Center (msrc.microsoft.com) corresponding to CVE-2026-33113
- 4. Install the update on all SharePoint servers in the farm, starting with the application servers
- 5. Run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard (psconfig) on each server to complete the upgrade
- 6. Verify the build version has been updated to 16.0.19725.20384 or higher
