Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2019-0604

Microsoft SharePoint fails to check the source markup of application packages, letting attackers run code as the SharePoint application pool and farm account, and exploitation surged with the China Chopper webshell campaigns against on-premises farms. CISA also documents ransomware use. SharePoint concentrates an organization's documents behind a single High Severity entry point, and unpatched 2019-era farms are still found in production.

Do this: Patch on-premises SharePoint farms and hunt the layouts directories for webshells if any farm sat unpatched during 2019 or 2020.
