2. The vulnerabilities, labeled CVE-2025-53770 and CVE-2025-53771, were exposed by Netherlands-based Eye Security.
3. The flaws could allow attackers to execute code over the network.
4. Over 200,000 organizations and 190 million people use SharePoint for content management.
5. Microsoft faced scrutiny from the U.S. Congress in 2024 for a series of cybersecurity issues.
