DescriptionCVE.org

Improper authentication in Microsoft Teams allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

AnalysisAI

Privilege elevation in Microsoft Teams allows an authenticated attacker with low-level access to bypass authentication controls and gain higher privileges across a network boundary. The CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H) shows the flaw is remotely reachable, requires only low existing privileges, needs no user interaction, and crosses a security scope to compromise confidentiality and integrity of resources beyond the initially authorized context. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold a valid low-privilege authenticated identity within Microsoft Teams (PR:L), reachable over the network (AV:N), with no user interaction needed (UI:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuinely high-priority issue by CVSS (9.6 critical), driven by network attack vector, low complexity, no user interaction, and a scope change combined with high confidentiality and integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory - apply the fix referenced in Microsoft's MSRC update guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-62896; for cloud-served components Microsoft typically remediates server-side, while Teams desktop and web clients should be updated to the latest available build. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, disable external federation and guest access in Microsoft Teams admin center, restrict Teams administrative access to essential personnel, and enable comprehensive audit logging. …
