Content spoofing via unsanitized web requests
Published Apr 15, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Improper request sanitization in Microsoft SharePoint products allows remote authenticated users to spoof content through crafted web requests. SharePoint's web-request handling fails to sanitize attacker-controlled request data, but Microsoft has not disclosed the affected handler, field, or output operation. A valid account and user interaction are required, and successful exploitation can alter content seen in another security context without interrupting the service.
