In a network-based attack, an authenticated attacker with Manage List permissions could execute code remotely on the SharePoint Server. The attacker must be authenticated to the target site, with the permission to use Manage Lists within SharePoint. [Exploitability Assessment](<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/exploitability-index?rtc=1>): **_Exploitation Less Likely_** * * * ### [](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-22047>)[CVE-2022-26929](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-26929>) | .NET Framework Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerability This vulnerability has a CVSSv3.1 score of 7.8/10. The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer. [Exploitability Assessment](<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/exploitability-index?rtc=1>): **_Exploitation Less Likely_** * * * ### [](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-22047>)[CVE-2022-38007](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-38007>) | Azure Guest Configuration and Azure Arc-enabled Servers Elevation of Privilege (EoP) Vulnerability This vulnerability has a CVSSv3.1 score of 7.8/10. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could replace Microsoft-shipped code with their own code, which would then be run as root in the context of a Guest Configuration daemon. On an Azure VM with the Guest Configuration Linux Extension installed, this would run in the context of the GC Policy Agent daemon. On an Azure Arc-enabled server, it could run in the context of the GC Arc Service or Extension Service daemons. [Exploitability Assessment](<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/exploitability-index?rtc=1>): **_Exploitation Less Likely_** * * * ## **Microsoft Edge | Last But Not Least** Earlier in September 2022, Microsoft released Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) vulnerabilities including [CVE-2022-38012](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-38012>). The vulnerability assigned to the CVE is in the Chromium Open Source Software (OSS) which is consumed by Microsoft Edge. It is being documented in the Security Update Guide to announce that the latest version of Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) is no longer vulnerable. For more information, please see [Security Update Guide Supports CVEs Assigned by Industry Partners](<https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2021/01/13/security-update-guide-supports-cves-assigned-by-industry-partners/>). ### [](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-38012>)[CVE-2022-38012](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-38012>) | Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerability This vulnerability has a CVSSv3.1 score of 7.7/10. The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer. This vulnerability could lead to a browser sandbox escape. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment. NOTE: [Per Microsoft's severity guidelines](<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/bounty-new-edge>), the amount of user interaction or preconditions required to allow this sort of exploitation downgraded the severity. The CVSS scoring system doesn't allow for this type of nuance which explains why this CVE is rated as Low, but the CVSSv3.1 score is 7.7 * * * # **Adobe Security Bulletins and Advisories** Adobe released seven (7) [security bulletins and advisories](<https://helpx.adobe.com/security/security-bulletin.html>) with updates to fix 63 vulnerabilities affecting Adobe Animate, Bridge, Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, Photoshop, and Experience Manager applications.
