Microsoft SharePoint Server Replay-Based Remote Code Execution

IdentifiersCVE-2021-27076CWE-294

CVE-2021-27076 is a Microsoft SharePoint Server remote code execution vulnerability described in the provided content as a replay-style integrity bypass affecting SharePoint. The writeup frames the bug as an instance where authenticated or trusted data can be captured in one context and reused in another, allowing SharePoint to accept reused state in a way that does not uniquely bind the original sender’s intent, timing, or transaction context. The content explicitly identifies the issue as ZDI-21-276 / CVE-2021-27076 and discusses it as foundational to later SharePoint research. However, the specific vulnerable SharePoint function, exact request path, and precise code-level sink for CVE-2021-27076 are not provided in the supplied material.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution on a Microsoft SharePoint Server instance. The supplied content also shows this vulnerability being used in the wild to compromise a SharePoint service hosted under IIS, after which attackers executed post-exploitation activity via the IIS worker process and established persistence using DLL sideloading and a scheduled task. The direct impact of the vulnerability itself is server-side code execution in the SharePoint/IIS context, which can enable full compromise of the SharePoint application server and subsequent follow-on actions.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Specific mitigation guidance for CVE-2021-27076 is not provided in the supplied content. In the absence of patch-specific details, practical interim measures would include restricting external access to SharePoint, minimizing exposure of internet-facing SharePoint services, monitoring IIS/SharePoint activity for exploitation attempts and anomalous child-process or persistence behavior, and hunting for post-exploitation artifacts such as suspicious DLL sideloading and scheduled tasks. However, the authoritative mitigation details are not available in the provided material.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

The specific vendor remediation details for CVE-2021-27076 are not provided in the supplied content. The appropriate remediation is to apply Microsoft's security updates for CVE-2021-27076 to affected SharePoint Server deployments. Because the content does not include patch KBs, affected versions, or configuration-specific guidance, further remediation detail is currently not available from the provided material.
