When a Dutch researcher glanced at a token stream while preparing a Black Hat talk, he didn’t just find a bug—he found a fault line in the foundations of cloud identity that could have allowed a single click to flip virtually every Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) tenant from secure to owned. The...
A newly disclosed flaw in Microsoft Entra ID — tracked as CVE-2025-55241 — exposed a fragile seam in cloud identity where undocumented internal tokens and a legacy API’s weak validation combined to create a near‑universal tenant takeover vector; Microsoft has patched the defect, but the incident...
Security researcher Dirk‑jan Mollema’s discovery of two linked vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s Entra ID architecture exposed a failure mode that, by design, could have allowed an attacker with limited on‑premises access to gain near‑complete control over hybrid Microsoft environments — a chain...
