Daily Security ReviewToolShell: SharePoint Zero-Day Chain Gives Hackers Full Remote AccessA new wave of zero-day attacks—collectively known as ToolShell—is actively targeting Microsoft SharePoint servers, with two vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-53770 and CVE-2025-53771) allowing unauthenticated remote code execution and identity control bypass. First observed in high-value targets across government, critical infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors, the ToolShell exploit chain has since expanded into opportunistic attacks, with early attribution pointing to China-linked threat actors.The attack chain begins by exploiting a deserialization flaw and a spoofing/path traversal bug to gain unauthenticated access to SharePoint’s ToolPane functionality.
