Microsoft Configuration Manager SQL Injection Vulnerability
CVE-2024-43468 is a security vulnerability in Microsoft Configuration Manager, added to CISA KEV on February 12, 2026. Patch priority: Patch this week.
What it is
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's affected
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 to do
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
If you don't have someone in-house to verify the patch deployed across every endpoint — or you're not sure whether you're affected — that's exactly the kind of triage we do. Book a free 20-minute triage call.
