LAB³ Solution Uses Automation To Quickly Address The SharePoint Vulnerability

Microsoft has identified a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2025-53770) affecting on-premises SharePoint servers. The vulnerability represents a security risk to SharePoint environments and intellectual property, with hundreds of thousands of organisations now under threat (or under attack).

The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands, potentially gaining unauthorised access to sensitive functionalities and information. In recent incidents, threat actors have been observed exploiting this flaw with malicious scripts that compromise system integrity and stored assets.

“We became aware of the vulnerability on 22nd July and moving with urgency, by that evening our team had developed a solution,” says Kristie Goodie, LAB³’s General Manager of Managed Services.

“The LAB³ solution uses automation and detects if the vulnerability is present in a SharePoint environment, identifies if the environment has been compromised, and remediates this CVE in production (without additional risk or impact to operations).”

LAB³ protected its own SharePoint environment in the process of developing the solution and rapidly addressed the risk for many of our clients.

“The urgency to address this vulnerability cannot be overstated,” says Kristie. “Organisations must act swiftly to protect their data and operations.”
