CVE-2026-40357 is a remote code execution vulnerability in on-premises Microsoft SharePoint Server caused by deserialization of untrusted data. SharePoint improperly processes attacker-controlled serialized input without sufficient validation, allowing an authenticated user to trigger unsafe deserialization over the network. Microsoft states that exploitation requires only low privileges, specifically a minimum of Site Member permissions, and no user interaction. The issue affects supported on-premises SharePoint product lines including SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019, and SharePoint Server Subscription Edition prior to the patched builds released in May 2026.
