CVSS base score: 5.3 (Medium) vendor CNA · v3.1
Score assigned by the vendor's own CVE Numbering Authority (CNA); CISA's Vulnrichment program adds a score only when the CNA omits one.
Microsoft SharePoint Server Missing Authentication for Critical Function Vulnerability
Vendor: Microsoft Product: SharePoint Server
Microsoft SharePoint contains a missing authentication for critical function vulnerability that allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
Each milestone comes from a different source, so gaps between them are gaps in what those sources publish, not evidence that nothing happened. EPSS history for this CVE holds 22 points from 2026-07-18, tracked daily from 2026-09-09; earlier points are weekly, which dates a spike to within a week. Peak probability 26.6% on 2026-08-29.

Articles from monitored vendor research blogs and security news feeds that specifically mention this CVE. Coverage begins when feed monitoring started; earlier articles are not indexed.
Coverage across public collections only: Nuclei and OpenVAS NVT (scan);
Snort and Suricata ET Open (network); Sigma and YARA (host/SIEM);
Metasploit, Exploit-DB and public GitHub repositories (exploit). Absence
here means nothing public was found, not that detection is impossible.
GitHub PoC repositories are collected automatically by
PoC-in-GitHub (CC0) and are not vetted:
some are fakes and some are malware. Treat them as evidence that code was
published, not as code to run.

Microsoft SharePoint Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
The vendor's own judgement about their own code, shown alongside CISA's rather than merged into it. The exploitability index is a forward-looking prediction, distinct from a CVSS severity or CISA's SSVC decision, and vendors often report observed exploitation before a CVE reaches the KEV catalog.

No exploit-tool sightings recorded for this CVE.
Evidence tiers are explained on the About page — a merged Metasploit module is far stronger evidence than a distro package mention.
