A newer security update for Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 has shipped since this one: KB5002882 (2026-08-11).

KB5002862 patches a single flaw (CVE-2026-20945) across SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019, and SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. It rates Medium severity at CVSS 4.6, but the 25 percent EPSS is unusually high for a Medium item and suggests exploitation is more plausible than the score alone implies. It is not in CISA KEV and has no ransomware link.
Do this: Schedule this SharePoint update across your 2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition farms, prioritizing internet-facing servers given the elevated exploit probability.
