    Active Exploitation

    SQL Copilot's Read-Only Mode Wasn't Read-Only. I was in Italy for a month. While I was gone, somebody got sysadmin out of SQL Copilot with a variable. The vulnerability is CVE-2026-65669, the SSMS 22 Copilot bug I wrote about early September. https://www.sqlfingers.com/2026/10/sql-copilots-read-only-mode-wasnt-read.html

    Post summary

    The text reports CVE-2026-65669 as a SQL Copilot/SSMS 22 read-only bypass that allowed obtaining sysadmin via a variable, with a linked blog post. It provides technical vulnerability details and suggests exploitation occurred, but no PoC, patch, or named exploit tool is mentioned.

    Analysis of CVE-2026-65669: privilege escalation through SQL Copilot Read on dbugs: https://dbu.gs/news/analysis-of-cve-2026-65669-privilege-escalation-through-sql-copilot-20261006 Researcher Johann Rehberger disclosed details of CVE-2026-65669 (https://dbu.gs/vulnerability/CVE-2026-65669) — a critical privilege escalation vulnerability in Copilot for SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). The issue stems from Copilot executing queries with the privileges of the current SQL connection, while its "read-only" mode was enforced by regex-based software validation of queries. The researcher demonstrated that this validation could be bypassed through dynamic invocation of stored procedures: for example, the restriction on "EXEC" could be bypassed by storing the procedure name in a variable and then using "sp_executesql" to execute arbitrary T-SQL. As a result, Copilot could execute "CREATE", "INSERT", "UPDATE", "DELETE", "DROP" and other operations that modify the server state. The researcher also demonstrated an indirect prompt injection: an attacker with fewer privileges placed malicious instructions in database metadata, including through "AGENTS.md" or "CONSTITUTION.md". When a privileged user accessed the object through Copilot, the instructions entered the model's context and triggered a bypass of "read-only", after which arbitrary T-SQL was executed through the victim's connection. In the demonstration, this allowed privileges to be escalated from "db_owner" to the server role "sysadmin".

    Post summary

    The text describes proof-of-concept demonstrations of CVE-2026-65669, including detailed read-only bypass and prompt-injection techniques that escalate SQL Copilot privileges to sysadmin. It provides no evidence of active exploitation and names no patch or vendor remediation.

    Patch

    Copilot in SSMS runs SQL as the connected user; its read-only mode was a regex. A db_owner plants instructions in database metadata, a sysadmin uses Copilot, attacker becomes sysadmin. CVE-2026-65669, fixed in 22.8.2. Audit who can write that metadata. https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2026/from-select-to-sysadmin-sql-copilot-bluehat-asia/

    Post summary

    A disclosure describing a SQL injection in Microsoft Copilot for SQL Server Management Studio where a regex bypass in read-only mode enables privilege escalation from db_owner to sysadmin; the issue is addressed by upgrading to version 22.8.2.

    If you use SQL Copilot in SQL Server Management Studio 🔐 Patch this month's update (fixes CVE-2026-65669). Then treat any instructions passed to it as untrusted input, same as a web form because crafted instructions can make it act with your database permissions. https://t.co/ykhbgxxwBt

    Post summary

    Advises patching the current SQL Copilot update to mitigate CVE‑2026‑65669 and warns that user instructions should be treated as untrusted to prevent abuse with database permissions.
