Microsoft SharePoint Faces Zero-Day Attacks After Patch Fails to Fix On-Prem Flaws

3 articles · Updated · The Register · Aug 14

Summary

  • On-premises SharePoint servers are under active zero-day attack after Microsoft's latest patches failed to fully fix the vulnerabilities.
  • Microsoft acknowledged the patch failure, leaving organizations that run SharePoint on their own infrastructure exposed despite applying the update.
  • The issue is limited to on-prem SharePoint rather than Microsoft's cloud-hosted services, sharpening the risk for enterprises managing their own servers.
  • The failed fix turns a routine patch cycle into an active security incident, likely forcing defenders to seek mitigations or wait for a corrected update.
