Risk Analysis

Microsoft SharePoint has an improper authentication vulnerability that enables an authorized attacker to spoof users over a network, potentially viewing and altering sensitive information. This vulnerability, with an EPSS score of 0.65002 and confirmed in-the-wild exploitation, is critical, especially as it can be chained with other vulnerabilities and has a patch bypass (CVE-2025-53771).

This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild and is listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Its network-based nature implies it is remotely exploitable.

Recommended Action

Apply the security updates for CVE-2025-53771, which provides more robust protection than the initial patch for CVE-2025-49706. Ensure all SharePoint installations are fully patched and authentication mechanisms are properly configured.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-49706 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

CISA has added CVE-2025-49706 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
