Critical zero-day vulnerabilities in Microsoft SharePoint, tracked as CVE-2025-53770 and CVE-2025-53771, have been actively exploited since at least July 18th, with no patch available and at least 85 servers already compromised worldwide.

Microsoft has released a critical patch for a security flaw in its SharePoint software. Hackers actively exploited this vulnerability, targeting businesses and US government agencies. The company issued the fix between July 19 and 20.

Dubbed a “zero-day” because it leverages a previously undisclosed digital weakness, the hacks allow spies to penetrate vulnerable servers and potentially drop a backdoor to secure continuous access to victim organisations.

A major cyberespionage operation targeting Microsoft's SharePoint server software has compromised about 100 organizations worldwide. The operation exploits a zero-day vulnerability, allowing hackers to install backdoors on affected servers.
