CVE-2025-49706

Exploitation: active CVSS 6.5 MEDIUM Ransomware: known use

CVSS base score: 6.5 (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 Improper Authentication Vulnerability

Vendor: Microsoft   Product: SharePoint

Description

Microsoft SharePoint contains an improper authentication vulnerability that allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network. Successfully exploitation could allow an attacker to view sensitive information and make some changes to disclosed information. This vulnerability could be chained with CVE-2025-49704. CVE-2025-53771 is a patch bypass for CVE-2025-49706, and the updates for CVE-2025-53771 include more robust protection than those for CVE-2025-49706.

Lifecycle Timeline

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 75 points from 2025-07-12, tracked daily from 2026-09-09; earlier points are weekly, which dates a spike to within a week. Peak probability 99.9% on 2026-06-20.

Detection & Exploitation

Scan
Exploit / Pen Test
Host / SIEM

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.
OpenVAS coverage derives from the Greenbone Community Feed, made available under the Open Database License (ODbL) v1.0; its individual Vulnerability Tests are licensed GNU GPL v2.

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.

Weaponization Timeline — Offensive & Testing Tools

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.
