The product group released the December 2024 Cumulative Update for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.
Monthly SharePoint Server Subscription edition updates are released as a single unified “uber” package containing both the language independent and language dependent fixes. Language independent and language dependent fixes will no longer be released separately. This is similar to the full server packages released for SharePoint 2013.
The KB article for December 2024 CU will be available at the following location in a couple of hours:
- KB 5002658 – December 2024 Update for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition
This is also a security update!
The download for December 2024 CU is available through the following link:
- Download December 2024 Update for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition
This is also a security update!
It is irrelevant which language you pick on the drop down in download center. It will always download the same package.
After installing the fix you need to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm. If you prefer to run the command line version psconfig.exe ensure to have a look here for the correct options.
Please ensure to have a look at the SharePoint Patching Best Practices before applying new fixes.

Hi Stefan,
after installing December 2024 CU on a SharePoint farm (6 servers) PSCONFIG fails on one server with this error message:
Action 15.0.2.0 of Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPIisWebSiteWssSequence failed
Any help is appreciated…

Just setup a fresh 2 server farm with this December 2024 CU slipstreamed in.
SharePoint Server Cache service cannot start. When trying the following is written to ULS:
Insufficient SQL database permissions for user ‘Name: [redacted]\SP_SVC SID: [redacted] ImpersonationLevel: None’ in database ‘SP_Test_Config’ on SQL Server instance ‘[redacted]’. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object ‘proc_insertCacheConfigEntry’, database ‘SP_Test_Config’, schema ‘dbo’.
I compared this config database with an older farm and noticed that in the older farm, the SP_SVC account was granted SPDATAACCESS role on it, but not in the newer farm. Granting this role manually makes the service start, but I assume you are not supposed to fiddle with the database security settings manually. Is this a known change or issue in SP SE?
