Outlook Web Access (OWA) in Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 SP1, Cumulative Update 11, and Cumulative Update 12 and 2016 Gold and Cumulative Update 1 does not properly restrict loading of IMG elements, which makes it easier for remote attackers to track users via a crafted HTML e-mail message, aka "Microsoft Exchange Information Disclosure Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-0028 is an information disclosure issue in Outlook Web Access for specific Microsoft Exchange 2013 and 2016 builds. A crafted HTML email could cause OWA to load image content in a way that helps a remote sender track user activity. The supplied sources do not indicate code execution, mailbox takeover, or active exploitation. Exposure is most likely in organizations still running the affected Exchange Server builds with OWA enabled and users reading HTML email through OWA. Modern, fully patched Exchange deployments are less likely exposed, but the bundle does not provide fixed version details. Treat this as a privacy and user-tracking risk, not an emergency compromise signal. Prioritize confirmation during Exchange patch review, especially for legacy systems or internet-facing OWA deployments. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MS16-079 guidance for affected Exchange builds.; Apply the relevant Microsoft Exchange security updates where applicable.; Confirm affected OWA servers are no longer on listed vulnerable builds..
