Microsoft Configuration Manager SQL Injection Vulnerability

Microsoft Configuration Manager contains an SQL injection vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted requests to the target environment which are processed in an unsafe manner enabling the attacker to execute commands on the server and/or underlying database.

Added to KEV: 2026-02-12Federal patch deadline: 2026-03-05
Required Action (CISA)

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

Risk Analysis

This critical SQL injection vulnerability in Microsoft Configuration Manager allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute commands on the server and/or underlying database. With a CVSS score of 9.8 and an EPSS score of 0.84620, there is an extremely high likelihood and impact of exploitation, and its inclusion in CISA's KEV catalog confirms active exploitation. This is an extremely urgent and severe risk.

This vulnerability is actively being exploited in the wild and is included in CISA's KEV catalog. It is remotely exploitable without authentication, allowing attackers to send specially crafted requests to the target environment.

Recommended Action

Administrators must immediately apply the latest security updates and patches for Microsoft Configuration Manager. Implement robust input validation and database security best practices to mitigate SQL injection risks.
