CVE-2023-36415Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via unvalidated credential inputs

Published Oct 10, 2023 · Updated Apr 14, 2025

Command injection in Microsoft Azure Identity SDK packages allows remote authenticated users to execute OS commands through credential inputs. Developer credential implementations append unvalidated scope and tenant values to Azure CLI, Azure Developer CLI, or PowerShell command strings. Exploitation requires an application to accept attacker-influenced token-request values and invoke an affected developer credential, with commands running as the application account.
