AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a server‑side request forgery (CWE‑918) in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure Active Directory). An attacker who already has authorized credentials can craft requests that cause the Entra ID service to contact internal endpoints, enabling escalation of privileges across the network. The result is that the attacker gains access beyond the original user’s permissions.

Affected Systems

Microsoft Entra ID, also known as Azure Active Directory. No specific patch version information is disclosed; affected installations remain unspecified. Administrators should review Microsoft Entra ID deployments for potential exposure.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.9 indicates a critical severity, but the EPSS score is unavailable, so exact exploitation probability cannot be assessed. The attack requires an authenticated session and internal network connectivity. Because the flaw can be triggered from a legitimate user context, it bypasses typical credential checks, making it highly damaging if an attacker can manipulate the service. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory for an available patch or update for Microsoft Entra ID and apply it when released.
  • Configure the Entra ID service to limit outbound requests to only trusted URLs, adding strict input validation to prevent server‑side request forgery (CWE‑918).
  • Segregate internal network segments to constrain the Entra ID service’s reach to critical internal services, and enforce strict network access controls.
