"The Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 installation on the
remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore,
affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when
Microsoft SharePoint Server does not properly sanitize a
specially crafted web request to an affected SharePoint
server. An authenticated attacker could exploit the
vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to
an affected SharePoint server. The attacker who
successfully exploited the vulnerability could then
perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems
and run script in the security context of the current
user. The attacks could allow the attacker to read
content that the attacker is not authorized to read, use
the victim's identity to take actions on the SharePoint
site on behalf of the user, such as change permissions
and delete content, and inject malicious content in the
browser of the user. The security update addresses the
vulnerability by helping to ensure that SharePoint
Server properly sanitizes web requests. (CVE-2020-16946)
- 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 users system. (CVE-2020-16948,
CVE-2020-16953)
- 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.
(CVE-2020-16941, CVE-2020-16942)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in
Microsoft Excel software when the software fails to
properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who
successfully exploited the vulnerability could run
arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If
the current user is logged on with administrative user
rights, an attacker could take control of the affected
system. An attacker could then install programs; view,
change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full
user rights. (CVE-2020-16929)");
