CVE-2024-38201

Authentication-token theft via unsanitized connection URL

Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Jul 10, 2025

Improper input validation in Azure Stack Hub before 1.2311.1.22 allows attackers to steal a user's authentication token through a crafted URL. The dashboard data widget fails to sanitize its connection URL before handling it in the user's authenticated context. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to share a crafted dashboard link and the user to click the data widget, after which the stolen token grants the attacker's requests that user's privileges.
