Privilege escalation via user-controlled authorization key
Published May 22, 2026 · Updated May 22, 2026
Authorization bypass in Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management allows remote authenticated users to elevate privileges over a network. Microsoft identifies a user-controlled authorization key but has not published the affected request, field, or authorization-check implementation. Exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege account and grants elevated access within the hosted service; the public record does not identify the resulting role.
