Descriptions

Microsoft SharePoint Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of Microsoft SharePoint. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the ValidateTokenIssuer method. The issue results from the lack of proper verification of a cryptographic signature. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to bypass authentication on the system.

Microsoft SharePoint Server contains an unspecified vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker, who has gained access to spoofed JWT authentication tokens, to use them for executing a network attack. This attack bypasses authentication, enabling the attacker to gain administrator privileges.
