MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated network exploitation against Microsoft Teams, per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N (no authentication, no user interaction, low attack complexity). The only inherent limiting factor is network reachability of the vulnerable Teams service endpoint; the scope change (S:C) means successful exploitation impacts resources governed by a separate security authority. The precise feature, API, or configuration that triggers the missing authorization check is not detailed in the available data and should be confirmed via the MSRC advisory. |
| Impact | The signals are strongly aligned toward high priority: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H) describes network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction and a scope change, yielding the maximum 10.0 base score. Against that, the exploitation-likelihood signals are quiet - the vulnerability is not in CISA KEV and no public POC or exploit code was provided, so there is no evidence of active exploitation and (no EPSS value was supplied to quantify probability). This is a genuine priority driven by ease and impact of exploitation rather than by observed in-the-wild activity; the absence of KEV/POC data reflects analysis-time intelligence, not a guarantee the flaw is hard to weaponize. One caveat: the description characterizes the outcome as 'elevate privileges' while the CVSS impact is scored as confidentiality/integrity with no availability effect and a scope change - verify with the MSRC advisory whether this is an authorization-bypass leading to cross-tenant/cross-user access versus a classic role escalation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker with network access to the Teams service sends a crafted request to an API or action that fails to verify authorization, invoking functionality reserved for a privileged role or another tenant/user. Because no authentication, user interaction, or special complexity is required and scope is changed, the attacker gains high-impact read/modify access to resources outside the originally exposed component. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 07, 2026
Privilege elevation in Microsoft Teams lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker gain unauthorized access across a network due to a missing authorization check (CWE-862). The maximum 10.0 CVSS rating stems from a changed scope with high confidentiality and integrity impact, meaning the flaw reaches resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the perfect-score, no-precondition profile makes it a top-tier patch priority.
RemediationAI
Consult the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-65667 for the authoritative fix and servicing status; for cloud-serviced Teams components Microsoft typically deploys the correction on the service side with no customer action required, while any client-side updates should be applied by ensuring Teams desktop/mobile clients auto-update to the latest build. Patch available per vendor advisory (exact fixed version not specified in the provided data - do not assume a build number). As interim risk reduction pending confirmation of the fix scope, restrict Teams exposure to trusted, authenticated Entra ID identities, enforce Conditional Access and MFA, review external/guest access and federation settings, and monitor Teams and Microsoft 365 audit logs for anomalous privileged actions; note these controls reduce but may not fully eliminate a server-side authorization bypass, so confirming Microsoft's remediation is the primary control.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Microsoft Teams is Microsoft's collaboration and communication platform, delivered as a cloud service integrated with Microsoft 365/Entra ID and consumed through web, desktop, and mobile clients. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): a code path that performs a sensitive action without verifying that the requesting principal is entitled to perform it, allowing an actor to invoke privileged functionality reserved for higher-trust roles. Because the CVSS vector marks scope as changed (S:C), the authorization gap in the vulnerable Teams component grants access to resources managed by a separate security authority - consistent with a service-side authorization bypass rather than a local client bug. No CPE strings were supplied, so exact affected build identifiers are not enumerable from the provided data; the single MSRC reference indicates this is a Microsoft-serviced (likely cloud-fixed) vulnerability.

DescriptionCVE.org
Missing authorization in Microsoft Teams allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-65667 is a critical, unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Teams (CVSS 10.0) that exposes all organizational users and connected corporate resources to unauthorized access and control. An attacker requires no credentials or user interaction to exploit this flaw, potentially gaining elevated permissions across Teams infrastructure and integrated systems. With no vendor patch currently released, immediate defensive actions are essential to prevent organizational compromise.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: network segmentation isolating Teams infrastructure from critical systems; enforcement of least-privilege access for Teams administration; real-time monitoring and alerting for unauthorized access patterns and privilege escalation attempts; regular audit and restriction of Teams app permissions and integrations; and establishment of alternative communication channels for sensitive organizational communications pending patch availability.
