KB5002881 is a June 2026 patch bundle covering Office 365 for Mac plus SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 and SharePoint Server 2019, resolving 8 CVEs with a top rating of High severity (CVSS 8.4). Anyone running on-premises SharePoint 2016 or 2019 farms is exposed, and those servers are attractive targets given their central role in document storage. No CVE here is in CISA KEV or ransomware-linked, and EPSS is 0%, so exploitation is not currently observed but the SharePoint attack surface warrants prompt patching.
Do this: Schedule and apply KB5002881 to your SharePoint 2016 and 2019 farms and Office 365 for Mac clients, prioritizing internet-facing SharePoint servers first.
