About this tag
Cross-tenant impersonation refers to a security vulnerability in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) that could allow an attacker to impersonate any user, including Global Administrators, across different tenants. This issue was addressed in a patch for CVE-2025-55241, which involved abuse of undocumented Actor tokens and a tenant-validation gap in the legacy Azure AD Graph API.
