Improvements and fixes
This security update contains improvements in SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016:
-
To improve the security of customer environments, Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) integration is now enabled by default for all new and existing web applications. For more information, see Configure AMSI integration with SharePoint Server.
-
Improves AMSI integration by not blocking web requests if AMSI can't successfully inspect the web request. A new health analyzer rule will notify SharePoint farm administrators if AMSI protection isn't functioning as expected.
This security update also contains an improvement in SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016. To get the improvement, you have to install KB 5002501 together with this update.
-
Adds a new health analyzer rule to check whether AMSI integration is enabled, and, if it is, to confirm that AMSI protection is functioning as expected. If AMSI protection isn't functioning as expected, the new health analyzer rule will notify SharePoint farm administrators through its health analyzer report, and provide recommended steps to fix the issue. For more information, see Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) protection may not be working (SharePoint Server).
