DescriptionNVD

Improper restriction of communication channel to intended endpoints in Azure SQL Managed Instance allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

AnalysisAI

Privilege elevation in Microsoft Azure SQL Managed Instance lets an unauthenticated network attacker cross the intended communication-channel boundary and gain elevated privileges, carrying a scope-changed CVSS of 10.0 that reflects likely cross-tenant or cross-service impact in this multi-tenant PaaS offering. Microsoft tags it as an authentication bypass exposing high-value confidentiality and integrity, with no availability loss. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no special conditions and no authentication are required - remote, unauthenticated network exploitation of the affected Azure SQL Managed Instance endpoint against its standard configuration, with a scope change (S:C) indicating impact beyond the initially reached component, consistent with a cross-tenant isolation-boundary escape. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals partly conflict and must be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker on the network reaches an Azure SQL Managed Instance endpoint that should have been isolated to intended, authenticated peers, and abuses the improperly restricted channel to bypass authentication and gain elevated privileges - potentially reaching data or control functions belonging to another tenant. No user interaction and no credentials are required and attack complexity is low; no public POC is known, so a real attack would require independently rediscovering the channel weakness.
Remediation Because Azure SQL Managed Instance is a Microsoft-operated PaaS, remediation is a service-side fix delivered by the vendor and generally requires no customer action - Patch available per vendor advisory (MSRC) at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-62836; no exact customer-installable fix version applies to a cloud service. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all Azure SQL Managed Instance deployments and enable enhanced monitoring on database authentication and access logs to detect exploitation attempts. …
