Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2026-40370 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2026-40370 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Microsoft Sql Server 2016, published on 12 May 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-40370 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Sql Server 2016. 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-2026-40370/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40370/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-40370","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40370/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-40370","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c4mg-2cmw-c72r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft SQL Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized attacker can execute arbitrary code remotely via external control of file names or paths in Microsoft SQL Server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"sql_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"sql_server_2017","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"sql_server_2019","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"sql_server_2022","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"sql_server_2025","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-610","name":"Externally Controlled Reference to a Resource in Another Sphere"},{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"External control of file name or path in SQL Server allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.","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":"SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-40370","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:sql_server_2016","products":["microsoft:sql_server_2016","microsoft:sql_server_2017","microsoft:sql_server_2019","microsoft:sql_server_2022","microsoft:sql_server_2025"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft Dynamics 365 (on-premises) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-40371"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-40369"},"products":["Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 3 (GDR)","Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 3 Azure Connect Feature Pack","Microsoft SQL Server 2017 (CU 31)","Microsoft SQL Server 2017 (GDR)","Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (CU 32)","Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (GDR)","Microsoft SQL Server 2022 (GDR)","Microsoft SQL Server 2022 for x64-based Systems (CU 24)","Microsoft SQL Server 2025 (CU 4)","Microsoft SQL Server 2025 for x64-based Systems (GDR)"],"published":"2026-05-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-54117","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-54118","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-47295","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-55002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-33120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SQL Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-21262","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An authorized attacker can execute arbitrary code remotely via external control of file names or paths in Microsoft SQL Server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40370/"}
