Local privilege escalation via undisclosed SQL injection
Published Apr 14, 2026 · Updated Apr 14, 2026
SQL injection in Microsoft SQL Server allows local users with administrative privileges to elevate privileges on the host. Microsoft identifies improper neutralization of SQL command elements but has not disclosed the affected component, input path, or unsafe query operation. Exploitation requires existing high privileges and local access; successful use grants control over SQL Server data and service operation.
