Authenticated memory disclosure via Native Scoring read
Published Sep 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
An out-of-bounds read in Microsoft SQL Server 2017, 2019, and 2022 allows remote authenticated users to disclose memory via Native Scoring. The Native Scoring PREDICT path reads beyond a buffer boundary, although Microsoft has not disclosed the exact routine or malformed input condition. Exploitation requires low-privileged database access;5 exposed process memory can contain sensitive data, and the invalid read can interrupt the service.
