Microsoft Warns SharePoint Zero-Day Persists After 2 Failed Patches

3 articles · Updated · The Register · Jul 9

Summary

  • Microsoft said its fixes for an on-premises SharePoint flaw did not fully work, leaving the software under active zero-day attack.
  • The warning means organizations running self-hosted SharePoint remain exposed even after applying earlier patches that were supposed to close the hole.
  • The issue affects on-prem SharePoint rather than Microsoft's cloud services, focusing risk on enterprises and public-sector users that manage their own servers.
  • The failed remediation adds pressure on Microsoft to issue a working fix quickly as defenders race to identify compromised systems and limit further intrusion.
