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 confidence

Server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to make the server perform arbitrary network requests to internal systems or external resources, potentially disclosing sensitive information or performing reconnaissance.

MitigationImplement strict URL allowlist validation for any user-controllable URL parameters in SharePoint; apply network segmentation to restrict SharePoint server outbound network access to only necessary endpoints.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Retrieve SharePoint Server build version
    Open SharePoint Management Shell and run: (Get-SPFarm).BuildVersion or Get-SPServer -Identity $env:COMPUTERNAME | Select-Object BuildVersion
    Affected if The returned build number is less than 16.0.19725.20434, or the version corresponds to SharePoint 2016 or 2019 (major version 16.0.xxxx) and is not patched to 16.0.19725.20434 or higher
  2. Check SharePoint farm patch level
    In SharePoint Central Administration, go to Check Product and Patch Installation Status under Upgrade and Migration, or run Get-SPProduct -Local in PowerShell to list all installed updates
    Affected if The installed patches do not include version 16.0.19725.20434 or newer for SharePoint Server 2016/2019
  3. Identify SharePoint edition and version
    Run Get-SPFarm | Select-Object Version, Build to get the exact build number, then cross-reference with Microsoft version docs to confirm if it is 2016 (16.0.xxxx.5000 range) or 2019 (16.0.xxxx.6000 range)
    Affected if The farm is running SharePoint 2016 or 2019 and the build is below 16.0.19725.20434

Your environment is affected if SharePoint Server 2016 or 2019 is running with a build version lower than 16.0.19725.20434, as this SSRF vulnerability can be exploited by an authorized attacker.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 16.0.19725.20434 or later
Fixed in 16.0.19725.20434
Interim mitigation

Implement strict URL allowlist validation for any user-controllable URL parameters in SharePoint; apply network segmentation to restrict SharePoint server outbound network access to only necessary endpoints.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

SharePoint Server 2016/2019 to version 16.0.19725.20434 or later

  1. Identify current SharePoint Server build version using SharePoint Administration Center or Get-SPProductVersion PowerShell cmdlet
  2. Review Microsoft Security Response Center (msrc.microsoft.com) for the specific security bulletin associated with this vulnerability
  3. Apply the relevant SharePoint Server security update or upgrade to version 16.0.19725.20434 or later
  4. After applying the update, verify the version has been updated using Get-SPProductVersion
  5. Test critical SharePoint workflows to ensure functionality is maintained post-update
  6. Validate that the SSRF vulnerability is remediated by reviewing server logs and network configurations
Caveat Standard SharePoint cumulative update apply procedures should be followed; test in staging environment first due to potential impact on farm functionality
