What is CVE-2024-43468?

Microsoft Configuration Manager contains an SQL injection vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted requests to the target environment which are processed in an unsafe manner enabling the attacker to execute commands on the server and/or underlying database.

Who is affected by CVE-2024-43468?

Affects anyone running Microsoft Configuration Manager. Microsoft products in a small practice typically sit close to credentials, email, or document workflows — treat the patch as in-scope.

What should I do about CVE-2024-43468?

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

The action above is CISA's wording. The directive it names, BOD 22-01, was revoked by BOD 26-04 on June 10, 2026; CISA's catalog still carries the older text for this entry.

Microsoft fix

Microsoft Exploitability Index (assessed at update release): Exploitation Less Likely

This CVE is on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Microsoft's index reflects their release-time forecast, not current observed activity, and is not automatically revised upward when exploitation appears later.

Sourced from Microsoft Security Update Guide (CVRF document 2024-Oct).

Vendor workaround

No vendor workaround published. Patching is the only fix.

CISA due date

CISA's listed due date: March 5, 2026.

Federal civilian agencies work under CISA's Binding Operational Directive 26-04, which replaced BOD 22-01 on June 10, 2026. It sets the deadline for each affected system by:

  • How exposed that system is to the internet
  • Whether the attack can be automated
  • How much control it gives an attacker

Its table gives catalogued vulnerabilities 3 or 14 days.

None of this binds a private business, but treat the date as a strong recommendation, especially if you handle regulated data (HIPAA, GLBA, ABA model rules).

EPSS

EPSS score: 81.0% — higher than 100% of all scored CVEs.

EPSS estimates the probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days. Every entry on this site is already confirmed exploited, so read it as relative urgency among the things you still have open, not as permission to wait.

Score dated 2026-10-16, from the FIRST.org Exploit Prediction Scoring System.
