Microsoft said that any unauthenticated attacker could cause the vulnerability and it does not need admin or higher permissions.
“In a network-based attack, an authenticated attacker, who has a minimum of Site Member permissions (PR:L), could execute code remotely on the SharePoint Server,” the Windows maker added.
Microsoft thanked a researcher called MEOW for finding and reporting the problem. Updates have been given for these versions –
SharePoint Server Subscription Edition
SharePoint Server 2019
SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016
Last month, Microsoft fixed a security issue with SharePoint Server that allowed fake identities. This flaw, listed as CVE-2026-32201 and rated 6.5 on the CVSS scale, was known to be taken advantage of in real attacks.
The tech giant says CVE-2026-45659 is less likely to be used against users, but it’s still important for users to fix it for better safety. This is especially true because many problems in the platform have often been targeted by attackers in the past.
