Cross-tenant token theft via permissive postMessage trust
Published Nov 26, 2024 · Updated Jul 8, 2025
Cross-site scripting in Microsoft Copilot Studio allows remote attackers to steal authentication tokens through Microsoft Teams. The Teams app manifest trusted wildcard domains while isFullTrust enabled postMessage access to the host window, letting attacker-controlled code request a victim's token. Exploitation requires a crafted Teams Meeting App Share request from a guest in another tenant; the stolen token enables actions in the victim's context.
