Microsoft’s SharePoint Patch Failed To Stop Attacks
Digest more
Microsoft has released security patches for the zero-day vulnerability chain dubbed ToolShell, capable of remote code execution on SharePoint, resulting in the exploitation of at least 54 organizations worldwide.
The name was coined by Dinh Ho Anh, a researcher from Khoa of Viettel Cyber Security, who developed the exploit. The researcher said he picked the name because it exploited ToolPane.aspx, a component for assembling the side panel view in the SharePoint user interface.
More information has emerged on the ToolShell SharePoint zero-day attacks, including impact, victims, and threat actors.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in an alert, said it's aware of active exploitation of CVE-2025-53770, which enables unauthenticated access to SharePoint systems and arbitrary code execution over the network.
