Hi everyone,
We want to make you aware of a critical security vulnerability (CVE-2025-53770) that is currently being actively exploited in the wild. This vulnerability affects on-premises versions of Microsoft SharePoint Server and allows attackers to remotely execute code without needing to log in — a serious threat vector.
SharePoint Server Subscription Edition
SharePoint Server 2019
SharePoint Server 2016
➡️ ✅ SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365) is not affected
If you're using SharePoint as part of Microsoft 365, Microsoft handles security patches directly, and no action is needed from your side unless you’re running a hybrid deployment.
This vulnerability is already being used by attackers to breach networks. Exploitation could lead to:
Unauthorized data access
Ransomware or malware deployment
Lateral movement through internal systems
If you use SharePoint Server on-prem:
Apply Microsoft’s July 2025 security patch immediately.
Audit your SharePoint access permissions.
Look for signs of compromise (IOCs).
Reach out to us for a patch or security assessment.
We've posted a detailed blog with full context, mitigation steps, and what you need to know:
