Senserva AI Opinion for KB5002768

Rounding out the SharePoint ToolShell fix set from July 8, 2025, this package also resolves CVE-2025-53771 and CVE-2025-53770 for SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019, and Subscription Edition, at the same Critical, CVSS 9.8, 100 percent EPSS, CISA KEV, and ransomware-linked profile as the rest of the family. With five related packages patching the identical vulnerability pair, the priority is coverage: every SharePoint server in the farm needs one of them.

Do this: Audit the whole SharePoint farm to confirm every server has one of the ToolShell fix packages installed, including this one.

Known issues, from Microsoft

Quoted from Microsoft's support article for KB5002768 (checked 2026-08-11). Verify against the article before acting.

Users may experience an issue when loading some SharePoint page resources, and the following error message is logged in the SharePoint Unified Logging System (ULS) logs:

Note

[SPRequestModule.PostAuthenticateRequestHandler] Risky signout bypass limited (Access Denied). request path: '<resource path>'.

To work around this issue, farm administrators can add the resource path in the AllowList by running the following PowerShell commands:

$farm = get-spfarm

​​​​​​​ $farm.AddGenericAllowedListValue("SignOutRefererAllowList", "<resource path>")

$farm.Update()

iisreset

To check whether the resource path exists in the AllowList, run:

$farm.ContainsGenericAllowedListValue("SignOutRefererAllowList", "<resource path>")

To remove the resource path from the AllowList, run:

$farm.RemoveGenericAllowedListValue("SignOutRefererAllowList", "<resource path>")

Note

Make sure that the resource path is valid and as expected before you follow the instructions to configure it.
