Microsoft Office Project Server Spoofing Vulnerability

Microsoft · EN CVE-2026-45483 Important Action required CVSS 4.6

Published 9 jun 2026

What does this mean?

Spoofing. An attacker can pretend to be another user or source, for example through a misleading link or page.
It can be exploited over the network (including from the internet if the service is reachable there), with an ordinary user account and if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file.
CVSS 4.6 out of 10: medium. Microsoft rates it Important.
No attacks reported; Microsoft expects exploitation to be less likely.
What should you do? Install the security update for the version you run (or a later cumulative update):
- Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019: KB5002874 16.0.10417.20153
- Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016: KB5002880 16.0.5556.1005
- Microsoft SharePoint Server Subscription Edition: KB5002873 16.0.19725.20384

Microsoft Office Project · Spoofing

Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') in Microsoft Office Project Server allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.

Office / Microsoft 365 Apps

How do I check if I am affected?

SharePoint Server: check and update

Check your farm build in the SharePoint Management Shell:
```
(Get-SPFarm).BuildVersion
```
Or in Central Administration → Upgrade and Migration → Check product and patch installation status.
If the build is equal to or higher than the build under "Affected products and updates" below, this vulnerability is fixed. A later cumulative update includes the fix too.

Otherwise install the update on every server in the farm, then run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard, or:

PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install

You do not need to update SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365; Microsoft does that.

What kind of flaw is this?

CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Input is not cleaned before it appears in a web page (cross-site scripting). An attacker can run script in another user's browser.
