A functional exploit for a critical Microsoft SharePoint vulnerability, CVE-2023-29357, is reportedly in the hands of a ransomware group, despite being added to the US's must-patch list. The vulnerability, which can achieve remote code execution, was first identified in June 2023 and has been actively exploited by cybercriminals. Security experts warn that organizations need to apply manual, SharePoint-specific patches to ensure the fixes are properly applied, as simply applying the June 2023 Patch Tuesday updates won't automatically protect their systems.

CISA warns of active exploitation of a critical Microsoft SharePoint privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2023-29357) that allows attackers to gain admin privileges by spoofing JWT auth tokens. This flaw can be chained with another critical bug (CVE-2023-24955) for remote code execution. A proof-of-concept exploit has been released on GitHub, and other PoC exploits have surfaced online, making it easier for threat actors to deploy attacks. CISA has added the vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog and mandated U.S. federal agencies to patch it by January 31.
