Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2026-45483

Despite the Office Project Server title, this spoofing flaw actually affects on-premises SharePoint: Subscription Edition, Enterprise Server 2016, and Server 2019. At Severity Medium with a CVSS score of 4.6, spoofing here typically means a crafted request or content that misrepresents its origin, which can be leveraged to make phishing or social engineering against SharePoint users more convincing. It is not in CISA KEV and has no known ransomware association, so this is patch-in-cycle rather than an emergency.

Do this: Inventory your on-premises SharePoint 2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition farms and schedule the corresponding Microsoft security update in your next patch window.
