Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition < 16.0.18526.20508 or 2016 < 16.0.5513.1001 or 2019 < 16.0.10417.20037 is affected by a vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code through insecure deserialization.

The Microsoft SharePoint Server running on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability:

  - Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') in Microsoft Office     SharePoint allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network. (CVE-2025-53771)

Note that this plugin only tests the SharePoint site collections at /, /my, /sites, /teams, and /personal.

The version of Sitecore XP running on the remote host is affected by an insecure deserialization vulnerability.
Sitecore deployments using the sample key provided with deployment instructions for XP 9.0 or earlier and Active Directory 1.4 are potentially vulnerable to an insecure ViewState deserialization vulnerability that could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to perform remote code execution and acquire non-authorized access to information.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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

  - Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') in Microsoft     Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network. (CVE-2025-53771)

  - Deserialization of untrusted data in on-premises Microsoft SharePoint Server allows an unauthorized     attacker to execute code over a network. (CVE-2025-53770)

The Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') in Microsoft     Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network. (CVE-2025-53771)

  - Deserialization of untrusted data in on-premises Microsoft SharePoint Server allows an unauthorized     attacker to execute code over a network. (CVE-2025-53770)

The Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016 installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple security vulnerabilities:

  - Deserialization of untrusted data in on-premises Microsoft SharePoint Server allows an unauthorized     attacker to execute code over a network. (CVE-2025-53770)

  - Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') in Microsoft     Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network. (CVE-2025-53771)
