Stack-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse allows an authenticated attacker to run arbitrary code over the network by triggering a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121). The flaw carries a CVSS 8.8 rating with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and requires only low-privilege access with no user interaction. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, but a vendor patch is available via MSRC.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a classic stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121), where attacker-controlled input is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking, corrupting adjacent stack memory such as saved return addresses and enabling control-flow hijacking. The affected component is Microsoft's Fabric platform; note a source discrepancy - the CVE description names 'Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse' while the supplied CPE (cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:service_fabric) and tags reference Microsoft Service Fabric, which is Microsoft's distributed-systems microservice orchestration platform. Both are network-facing Azure/enterprise services that process serialized or query-related input, providing a plausible vector for malformed data to reach a vulnerable native parsing routine. Because the CVSS scope is Unchanged (S:U), the code executes within the security context of the vulnerable service process rather than crossing a trust boundary to another component.
RemediationAI
Apply the Microsoft-supplied fix: a patch is available per the vendor advisory (Patch available per vendor advisory) at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56642 - for cloud-hosted Fabric/Service Fabric the mitigation is largely delivered by Microsoft's service updates, while any self-managed Service Fabric clusters should be upgraded to the patched runtime version identified in the MSRC guidance. As compensating controls until patching is confirmed, restrict network access to the affected service endpoints to trusted management networks and audit/rotate low-privilege credentials that could satisfy the PR:L prerequisite, since limiting who can reach and authenticate to the service directly reduces the exploitable population; the trade-off is potential disruption to legitimate low-privilege integrations and automation that rely on those endpoints. Exact patched version numbers are not present in the input data and must be taken from the MSRC advisory rather than assumed.
