"The Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition 
installation on the remote host is missing security updates. 
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can
    exploit this to bypass authentication and execute
    unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2026-20948, 
    CVE-2026-62551, CVE-2026-62563)

  - A session spoofing vulnerability exists. An attacker can
    exploit this to perform actions with the privileges of
    another user. (CVE-2026-20958)

  - A information disclosure vulnerability exists. An 
    authorized attacker could use this to disclose 
    information over a network (CVE-2026-20959)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");
