Authenticated privilege escalation via missing authorization
Published Sep 8, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Missing authorization in Microsoft Entra ID allows remote authenticated users to elevate privileges through network requests. Microsoft has not disclosed the affected request, protected resource, or omitted authorization decision beyond the CWE-862 classification. Low-privileged access is required; successful exploitation crosses a security boundary and grants unauthorized access to protected data or actions, with limited service impact.
