token manipulation
About this tag
Token manipulation on Windows systems and AI platforms involves exploiting how tokens—such as authentication tokens in Azure DevOps or text tokens in large language models—are generated, handled, or interpreted. On Windows, vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-59216 involve race conditions in the graphics component that can lead to privilege escalation through token manipulation. In Azure DevOps Server, improper handling of pipeline job tokens allows attackers to swap short-term tokens for long-term ones, elevating their access. In AI, the TokenBreak attack exploits tokenization preprocessing to bypass LLM protections. These examples highlight token manipulation as a cross-domain security concern affecting authentication, privilege boundaries, and AI safety.
