CVE-2025-49731Network attack vector

Authenticated privilege escalation via undisclosed permission handling

Published Jul 8, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Improper privilege handling in Microsoft Teams clients allows remote authenticated users to elevate privileges over a network. Microsoft has not published the affected component or the incorrect permission-handling operation that accepts the attacker-controlled request. Exploitation requires authorized network access and high complexity; the published impact is limited data disclosure without integrity or availability loss.
