Microsoft lists CVE-2026-58644 as exploited in the wild. SharePoint Server operators should verify every farm meets the June fixed-build threshold, install the latest August cumulative updates and assess any previously exposed unpatched host for compromise.
Broadcom’s VMSA-2026-0006.2 adds vSphere 7.0 guidance for two unauthenticated, network-reachable vCenter flaws rated 9.8. With no workaround available, restrict access and use the supported patch route as an emergency change.
