CVE-2025-53771 is a Microsoft Office SharePoint vulnerability affecting on-premises SharePoint Server deployments. It is described as an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, resulting in a path traversal condition that allows spoofing over the network. The flaw is associated with improper authentication and serves as an updated fix or patch-bypass correction for the previously disclosed CVE-2025-49706. Public reporting indicates the issue was exploited as part of the ToolShell activity, where attackers abused weaknesses in SharePoint request handling and path validation to bypass prior protections. Multiple reports indicate the corrected logic tightened which request paths or referrers could bypass authentication checks, replacing insufficient validation with a stricter allowlist approach.
