CVE-2026-68785
MediumCVSS 4.9Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk54th percentile - higher than 54% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in SQL Server involves a heap-based buffer overflow. An authorized attacker could exploit this to execute code over a network.
Risk Assessment
A remote attack could allow code execution on the SQL server, potentially leading to control over the database and integrity violation.
Recommendation
Install the latest SQL Server security updates. Restrict network access to the SQL server to trusted hosts only.
