Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-7249 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Sql Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7249/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7249/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-7249","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7249/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-7249","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g7r2-w2q5-xwcc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft SQL Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can gain elevated privileges in Microsoft SQL Server due to improper pointer casting.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"sql_server","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Microsoft SQL Server 2016 does not properly perform a cast of an unspecified pointer, which allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via unknown vectors, aka \"SQL RDBMS Engine Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7249","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:sql_server","products":["microsoft:sql_server"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7250"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7248"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-11-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-0618","kev_date_added":"2024-09-18","published":"2020-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2019-1068","kev_date_added":"2026-08-26","published":"2019-07-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Microsoft SQL Server","id":"CVE-2018-8273","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-15"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5416","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-21705","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-21713","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1636","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated users can gain elevated privileges in Microsoft SQL Server due to improper pointer casting.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7249/"}
