CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-26150 is a high-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Microsoft Purview Ediscovery. Its CVSS base score is 8.6 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 46th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-26150 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, classified under CWE-918, affecting Microsoft Purview. Published on 2026-04-23, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, lack of prerequisites, and significant confidentiality impact across a changed scope.
An unauthorized attacker with network access can exploit this SSRF flaw without requiring privileges or user interaction. Successful exploitation enables the attacker to elevate privileges by forging requests from the server, potentially accessing internal resources or sensitive data that would otherwise be restricted.
The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-26150 provides details on mitigation, including available patches and recommended actions for affected Microsoft Purview deployments.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Information flow enforcement can restrict which destinations the server is allowed to contact on behalf of users.
Input validation directly stops untrusted URLs from being accepted and fetched without destination checks.
Boundary protection limits the network reach of server-initiated requests even if SSRF occurs.

Runtime monitoring of web applications and services can detect anomalous outbound requests indicative of SSRF.
Vulnerability identification processes can discover and record SSRF flaws in web applications.
Network segmentation and egress controls can limit the damage from successful SSRF requests.
Secure development practices directly include input validation and destination allow-listing that prevent SSRF.
