Microsoft Warns SharePoint Zero-Day Persists After 2 Patch Failures

3 articles · Updated · The Register · Jun 11

Summary

  • On-premises SharePoint is under active zero-day attack after Microsoft patches failed to fully fix the vulnerability, leaving exposed servers still at risk.
  • 2 failed patch attempts are the core issue: the fixes did not close the flaw on self-hosted SharePoint deployments, allowing attackers to keep exploiting the bug.
  • Microsoft’s warning centers on on-prem SharePoint rather than Microsoft 365, sharpening concern for organizations that run the collaboration software in their own data centers.
  • The episode adds to pressure on enterprise defenders as attackers increasingly exploit patch gaps quickly, turning incomplete fixes into a second-stage security risk.
