CVE-2025-53770ToolShell RCE in on-premises Microsoft SharePoint ServerExploited in the wild

CVE-2025-53770, a deserialization vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint Server, could be chained with CVE-2025-53771 in an exploit known as ToolShell. At least two clusters exploited it as a zero-day, and three more did so after patches shipped in late July. The financially motivated cluster UNC6357 used the SharePoint vulnerabilities to deploy LOCKBIT.WARLOCK ransomware. | The financially motivated cluster UNC6357 used the SharePoint vulnerabilities to deploy LOCKBIT.WARLOCK ransomware.
