Unauthenticated privilege escalation requiring user interaction
Published Oct 9, 2025 · Updated Oct 9, 2025
Improper access control in Microsoft Entra allows remote attackers to elevate privileges through a network attack requiring user interaction. Microsoft has not published the affected Entra service component, the incorrect access-control decision, or the attacker-controlled input. The attacker starts unauthenticated, but another user must participate; successful exploitation exposes and alters protected data and can interrupt service.
