CVE-2026-26115 is an elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server caused by improper validation of a specified type of input. The flaw is reachable over the network by an authorized attacker and arises from insufficient enforcement of expected input type constraints within SQL Server processing. Microsoft classifies the issue as important, and available metadata indicates a CVSS v3.1 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. Successful exploitation can allow an attacker with low privileges to elevate privileges within the SQL Server environment, potentially reaching administrator-level permissions.
