CVE-2026-88081: Microsoft SQL Server Information Disclosure Vulnerability

HighCVSS 7.7 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.79% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 56.9% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Microsoft SQL Server 2017 for x64-based Systems (CU31) 14.0.3560.2; Microsoft SQL Server 2017 for x64-based Systems (GDR) 14.0.2140.2; Microsoft SQL Server 2019 for x64-based Systems (CU32) 15.0.4500.2.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Microsoft SQL Server 2017 for x64-based Systems (CU31) 14.0.3560.2; Microsoft SQL Server 2017 for x64-based Systems (GDR) 14.0.2140.2; Microsoft SQL Server 2019 for x64-based Systems (CU32) 15.0.4500.2 or later.
