Heap-based buffer overflow in SQL Server allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft SQL Server (versions 2017 through 2025) enables any authenticated network attacker holding a low-privileged SQL Server account to achieve full remote code execution on the database host. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no user interaction and is low-complexity once a valid login is held, with complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid SQL Server account with at least public/low-level privileges (PR:L per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 8.8 High is well-justified here: AV:N eliminates physical or local-only exposure, AC:L means no special timing or conditions are required, and PR:L is the primary mitigating factor - an attacker must possess at least a low-privileged SQL Server account before exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Microsoft has released patches across all affected servicing branches. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
