About 200 SharePoint cases in Germany vulnerable to security flaw, BSI says

BERLIN, July 22 (Reuters) - Germany's federal office for information security (BSI) is aware of about 200 SharePoint cases in Germany vulnerable to a security flaw, the office told Reuters on Tuesday.

A security patch released by Microsoft MSFT.O last month failed to fully fix a critical flaw in the U.S. tech giant's SharePoint server software that had been identified in May, opening the door to a sweeping global cyber espionage operation.

BSI found vulnerable SharePoint instances within the German administration but did not detect any successful compromise on them, it said.
