CVE-2005-0049: Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Team Services for Windows Server 2003 does not properly validate...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old SharePoint web vulnerability where a crafted link could make a trusted SharePoint site display attacker-controlled script or misleading cached content. The main business risk is phishing, credential exposure, or user impersonation against people who trust the SharePoint site. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running Windows SharePoint Services or SharePoint Team Services for Windows Server 2003, especially internet-facing portals or intranet sites reachable by untrusted users. Treat as a legacy-platform risk. It is not known to be actively exploited from the supplied evidence, but exposed unsupported SharePoint services can create credible phishing and account-compromise paths. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining Windows Server 2003 SharePoint services.; Review and apply Microsoft MS05-006 or current vendor guidance.; Restrict external access to legacy SharePoint instances until remediated..
