high Nessus Plugin ID 101372

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Microsoft SharePoint Server or Project Server installed on the remote Windows host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or open a specially crafted document, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-0243)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website or open a specially crafted document, to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. (CVE-2017-8501)

- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Microsoft SharePoint Server due improper validation of user-supplied input in web requests. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2017-8569)

Solution

Microsoft has released a set of patches for SharePoint Server 2013 and 2016; Excel Services on SharePoint Server 2010; and Microsoft Project Server 2010.
