DescriptionCVE.org

Improper authorization in Azure Database for PostgreSQL allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in Azure Database for PostgreSQL allows an authenticated attacker with low privileges to elevate privileges over the network, potentially achieving full control over database resources. With a critical CVSS score of 9.9 due to scope change and high impact, the flaw requires a valid low-privileged identity to exploit; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a valid, low-privileged authenticated identity with existing access to Azure Database for PostgreSQL (PR:L) - for example a limited database role or a scoped Azure RBAC/subscription principal; it is NOT exploitable by fully unauthenticated internet attackers. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a high-priority issue on paper: the vendor (Microsoft) CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H yields 9.9, driven by low attack complexity, no user interaction, a scope change (S:C), and total confidentiality/integrity/availability impact - consistent with an authorization flaw letting a low-privileged, already-authenticated tenant escape its authorization boundary in a multi-tenant managed database. … 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 Vendor-released patch: Microsoft applies a server-side fix for Azure Database for PostgreSQL; ensure your instance is updated to the latest version per the MSRC advisory (https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-85878). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all Azure Database for PostgreSQL instances, review audit logs for privilege escalation attempts, restrict network access to trusted IP ranges, and enforce least privilege for database users. …
