A new cumulative update (February 2025 CU) has been released for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.

SP Build:
16.0.17928.20396

Starting with the March 2023 CU, updates for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition are released as a single package (known as an Uber package) containing both language-independent and language-dependent fixes. Only one package needs to be installed to fully update the server.

To speed up CU installation, I recommend following the guidance in How to speed up CU installation in SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.

The language you select when downloading the update does not matter because the same package is downloaded for every language.

SharePoint Server Subscription Edition

This CU addresses a remote code execution vulnerability: CVE-2025-21400.

The unified update in KB 5002681 includes these SharePoint Server Subscription Edition fixes:

  • Fixes an issue where an invisible field causes computed columns, including managed metadata, person and lookup columns, to show IDs instead of values in a modern list’s item display form.

  • Fixes an issue where the information panel cannot validate Windows accounts in a Person column when the web application uses multiple authentication modes.

  • Fixes an issue where the Date column displays 30.12.1899 instead of its value when any list column uses custom formatting.

  • Fixes an issue where personal sites cannot create list items.
