CVE-2020-1102Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via arbitrary control instantiation

Published May 21, 2020 · Updated Aug 19, 2026

Remote code execution in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 allows remote authenticated users to run code via a crafted app package. Shared-form handling accepts package source markup that can instantiate arbitrary controls instead of restricting permitted control types. An authenticated user must upload the package; successful exploitation runs code as the SharePoint application pool and server farm accounts.
