Microsoft SharePoint On-Premises Servers Targeted by Critical Deserialization Exploit

Summary

Microsoft SharePoint on-premises servers are under active attack following the release of exploit code for CVE-2026-50522. Attackers are stealing machine keys to maintain persistent access.

If you run on-premises SharePoint, apply Microsoft's July 14 patch immediately to fix CVE-2026-50522.
