About this tag
Token binding is a security mechanism that ties an authentication token to a specific client or session, preventing token theft and replay attacks. Discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight its role in a critical vulnerability, CVE-2026-20965, which affected Windows Admin Center's Azure SSO integration. The flaw allowed attackers with local admin access on a managed VM to forge a Proof-of-Possession token and impersonate privileged users across the tenant. The patch, released in Windows Admin Center Azure Extension 0.70.00, addressed improper token validation. These threads underscore token binding's importance in securing cloud management tools and Azure Active Directory authentication.
