AI-suggested

Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement specific mitigations to reduce risk. First, restrict and monitor access to SharePoint servers, ensuring only trusted and authorized personnel have privileges. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to limit exposure of SharePoint services to untrusted networks. Enable and enforce strict input validation and logging on SharePoint to detect anomalous deserialization attempts. Use application whitelisting and endpoint protection solutions to detect and block suspicious code execution. Regularly audit SharePoint configurations and permissions to minimize attack surface. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block malicious serialized payloads. Prepare for rapid patch deployment by testing updates in controlled environments. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups and incident response plans to recover quickly if exploitation occurs.

Description

Deserialization of untrusted data in Microsoft Office SharePoint allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
