  - Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') in Skype for Business
    allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network. (CVE-2026-63523, CVE-2026-69642)

  - Server-side request forgery (ssrf) in Skype for Business allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose
