Authenticated endpoint-protection tampering
Published Jul 12, 2022 · Updated Jul 8, 2025
Tampering in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Linux before 101.68.80 allows remote authenticated users to alter endpoint protection. Microsoft has not published the affected component or the operation that improperly accepts attacker-controlled input. A low-privileged authenticated network position is required, and successful exploitation changes protection integrity without disclosed data access or service interruption.
