Multiple Microsoft Exchange Server RCE Flaws Patched Across Supported Releases
Microsoft published security advisories for several **Microsoft Exchange Server remote code execution** vulnerabilities, including `CVE-2021-26427`, `CVE-2022-21969`, `CVE-2022-23277`, and `CVE-2023-36778`. The flaws affect on-premises Exchange Server deployments and were addressed through Microsoft's Security Update Guide, indicating a recurring pattern of high-impact code-execution risk in a core enterprise messaging platform. The advisories show Microsoft issuing fixes over multiple release cycles for distinct Exchange Server RCE bugs rather than a single isolated defect. For defenders, the immediate implication is to verify that all supported Exchange Server instances have the relevant cumulative and security updates applied, because unpatched mail servers remain a high-value target due to their internet exposure, privileged position in enterprise environments, and history of exploitation by threat actors.

Microsoft Exchange Server Elevation of Privilege Flaws Prompt Repeated Patching
Microsoft has disclosed multiple **elevation of privilege** vulnerabilities affecting **Microsoft Exchange Server**, including `CVE-2021-34470`, `CVE-2021-41348`, `CVE-2022-41123`, and `CVE-2025-64666`, indicating a recurring security issue in the on-premises mail platform across several release cycles. The advisories show Exchange continued to receive fixes for privilege-escalation weaknesses over multiple years, with Microsoft publishing separate Security Update Guide entries as new flaws were identified. Among the listed issues, Microsoft provided the most detail for `CVE-2021-34470`, rating it **Important** with a **CVSS 3.0 score of 8.0** and describing it as requiring access from a logically adjacent network. Microsoft said the flaw required a **schema change** and was fixed for **Exchange Server 2019** and **Exchange Server 2016** in cumulative updates released on June 29, 2021; at initial publication, the company said it was **not publicly disclosed**, **not exploited**, and **less likely to be exploited**. A separate Microsoft advisory in the same reference set, `CVE-2026-26128`, affects the **Windows SMB Server** rather than Exchange and also involves elevation of privilege.

Microsoft patched multiple Exchange and SharePoint remote code execution flaws
Microsoft disclosed and patched several **remote code execution** vulnerabilities affecting **Exchange Server** and **SharePoint Server**, including Exchange flaws tracked as `CVE-2023-21706`, `CVE-2023-28310`, and `CVE-2023-36439`, alongside SharePoint issues `CVE-2026-33110`, `CVE-2026-33112`, and `CVE-2026-40368`.

Microsoft said `CVE-2026-33110` could let an authenticated attacker with at least **Site Member** permissions execute code remotely on a vulnerable SharePoint Server, while `CVE-2026-33112` required at least **Site Owner** privileges to inject and run arbitrary code. For `CVE-2026-40368`, exploitation involved a client connecting to a malicious server, potentially leading to code execution on the client. Microsoft reported that the SharePoint flaws were **not publicly disclosed** and **not exploited in the wild** at publication, assessed exploitation as less likely, and released fixes, including a shared KB update for **SharePoint Server 2016** and **SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016**.
