Executive Summary Improper control of generation of code ('code injection') in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (on-premises) allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network. Exploitability The following table provides an exploitability assessment for this vulnerability at the time of original publication. Publicly disclosed No Exploited No Exploitability assessment Exploitation Unlikely FAQ According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability? Any authenticated attacker could trigger this vulnerability. It does not require admin or other elevated privileges. How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability? An attacker with the required permissions could modify the saved state of a process session in Dynamics CRM and trigger the system to process that data, which could result in the server unintentionally executing malicious code. According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability? An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.

A critical code injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-42898, CVSS 9.9) in Microsoft Dynamics 365 on-premises allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to achieve remote code execution by manipulating saved process session state data. The attack vector is network-based and requires no user interaction, with successful exploitation potentially impacting resources beyond the vulnerable component's security scope. Microsoft has released an official fix; organizations should apply the security update immediately.
