Improper input validation in Power BI allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Microsoft Power BI enables low-privileged authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code over the network via improper input validation (CWE-20). The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (High) reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact with low attack complexity and no user interaction required beyond holding a valid account. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, though the MSRC advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-65811 should be consulted for patch and scope details.
Technical ContextAI
Microsoft Power BI is a widely-deployed cloud and on-premises business intelligence and data visualization platform. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), a class of flaws where user-supplied or network-provided input is insufficiently sanitized or validated before being passed to a sensitive processing routine - in this case one capable of triggering code execution. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) confirms the vulnerable component is network-accessible and exploitable without elevated privileges or interaction. No CPE strings were provided in the input data; the exact affected Power BI component (Desktop, Service, Report Server, Embedded) is not specified in available intelligence and must be confirmed via the MSRC advisory. It is also worth noting a discrepancy: the vulnerability tag is labeled 'Information Disclosure' while the description states 'execute code' - these may reflect different impact aspects or a tagging error in the source data.
RemediationAI
Apply the Microsoft-released patch as detailed in the MSRC security update guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-65811. Exact fix versions were not provided in the available data; consult that advisory for the specific update to apply. As compensating controls prior to patching, restrict Power BI access to the minimum set of required user accounts and enforce strong authentication (MFA) to raise the bar for credential-based exploitation, since the flaw requires at least low-privilege access (PR:L). Network segmentation limiting which hosts can reach Power BI service endpoints reduces the attack surface against the AV:N vector but does not eliminate risk for legitimate users. Monitor Power BI audit logs for anomalous input patterns or unexpected code execution events.
