Remote Code Execution in Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra
CVE-2026-33844 is a critical improper input validation vulnerability in Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra. Microsoft describes the flaw as allowing an authorized attacker to execute code over a network. Available supporting content identifies the weakness as CWE-20 and characterizes it as affecting the Microsoft-hosted Azure Cassandra managed service rather than customer-managed software. The published CVSS v3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating network reachability, low attack complexity, low privileges required, user interaction required, and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
