#Microsoft Office SharePoint

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** In a network-based attack, an authenticated attacker, who has a minimum of Site Member permissions (PR:L), could execute code remotely on the SharePoint Server.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions can use the vulnerability to inject arbitrary code and execute this code in the context of SharePoint Server.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions or higher could upload a specially crafted file to the targeted SharePoint Server and craft specialized API requests to trigger deserialization of file's parameters. This would enable the attacker to perform remote code execution in the context of the SharePoint Server.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is high (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions can use the vulnerability to inject arbitrary code and execute this code in the context of SharePoint Server.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions can use the vulnerability to inject arbitrary code and execute this code in the context of SharePoint Server.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** The type of information that could be disclosed if an attacker successfully exploited this vulnerability is data inside the targeted website like IDs, tokens, cryptographic nonces, and other sensitive information.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions can use the vulnerability to inject arbitrary code and execute this code in the context of SharePoint Server.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permissions or higher could upload a specially crafted file to the targeted SharePoint Server and craft specialized API requests to trigger deserialization of file's parameters. This would enable the attacker to perform remote code execution in the context of the SharePoint Server.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. For example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.
