Technical details

A failure to properly sanitize user input during web page generation in SharePoint permits stored or reflected XSS attacks over a network. An attacker can craft malicious input that, when rendered in a victim's browser, executes arbitrary JavaScript with the privileges of the authenticated user, potentially leading to session hijacking or data exfiltration.
