About this tag
On-premises security at WindowsForum.com covers the ongoing challenge of patching and hardening self-hosted Microsoft server products, particularly Exchange and SharePoint. Recent discussions focus on remote code execution and spoofing vulnerabilities such as CVE-2026-45583 in Exchange and CVE-2026-33113, CVE-2026-47641, and CVE-2026-20959 in SharePoint. A recurring theme is the need for disciplined exposure management, fast patch triage, and skepticism about seemingly low-severity flaws. Hybrid deployments add complexity, as seen with CVE-2025-53786, where on-premises Exchange servers can be used to escalate privileges into Microsoft 365. Administrators are advised to reduce internet-facing attack surfaces, apply updates promptly, and verify mitigations.
