Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

SQL Server Native Client OLE DB Provider Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · low confidence
Developing — this CVE was published recently and its authoritative NVD entry is still being established, so we're holding a technical summary until the source data settles rather than publish something unreliable. Re-checking after 2026-07-31.

Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

Fixed in 13.0.6441.113.0.7037.114.0.2056.2
Recommended fix High confidence

SQL Server 2016 to 13.0.6441.1/13.0.7037.1; SQL Server 2017 to 14.0.2056.2/14.0.3471.2; SQL Server 2019 to 15.0.2116.2/15.0.4382.1; SQL Server 2022 to 16.0.1121.4/16.0.4131.2

  1. Identify the currently installed SQL Server version using SELECT @@VERSION
  2. Determine the appropriate target version based on your current major version (2016, 2017, 2019, or 2022)
  3. For SQL Server 2016: upgrade to version 13.0.6441.1 or later (or 13.0.7037.1 or later for the second range)
  4. For SQL Server 2017: upgrade to version 14.0.2056.2 or later (or 14.0.3471.2 or later for the second range)
  5. For SQL Server 2019: upgrade to version 15.0.2116.2 or later (or 15.0.4382.1 or later for the second range)
  6. For SQL Server 2022: upgrade to version 16.0.1121.4 or later (or 16.0.4131.2 or later for the second range)
  7. Apply the upgrade during a planned maintenance window following standard SQL Server upgrade procedures
  8. Test application connectivity with SQL Server Native Client OLE DB Provider after upgrade
Caveat Standard SQL Server upgrade considerations apply - review compatibility, test applications, backup databases, and plan for downtime
