Microsoft SharePoint opens doors for more effective collaboration between employees, partners, and customers. But as external users increasingly enter SharePoint communities, companies are at greater risk of exposing themselves to web threats, inappropriate content, and sensitive data disclosure. A serious Microsoft SharePoint vulnerability has made headlines recently and raised security concerns. A cross-site scripting (XSS) browser vulnerability in SharePoint Server 2007 allows cybercriminals to execute malicious code. Waiting for a Microsoft security patch left many companies vulnerable to an attack. Fortunately, customers using Trend Micro Deep Security 7 are immediately protected thanks to its ability to deploy a "virtual patch” that blocks cross-site scripting.
