Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-47997

This information disclosure bug hits Microsoft SQL Server across three release lines at once, SQL Server 2016, 2017, and 2019, all via their GDR update path, meaning any organization running an older, unpatched database server is exposed regardless of version. A 33 percent EPSS score is meaningfully higher than most of the RRAS entries in this list, so database servers should not be deprioritized just because this is not the newest SQL release.

Do this: Patch SQL Server instances across all three affected versions, checking that each is on its GDR update stream rather than a CU stream that might miss this fix.
