Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation targets Azure AI Foundry agents that have been PUBLISHED to Microsoft 365 - the affected surface is specifically the M365-published-agent integration, so an environment with no agents published to M365 is not in scope. The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L, AV:N) indicates no authentication, no user interaction, and low complexity against a network-reachable target, so per the available data there is no special configuration beyond having published such an agent. Limiting factors: the attacker must be able to reach the published agent endpoint over the network; because Azure AI Foundry is a Microsoft-operated service, the fix is applied vendor-side rather than by customers, which constrains the realistic exploitation window. The precise access-control defect and its trigger are not described in the available sources.

Impact

Signals conflict sharply here. The CVSS 3.1 base score is a maximal 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), describing a remotely reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity access-control flaw with a scope change and total confidentiality, integrity and availability impact. Every other exploitation signal, however, points downward: EPSS is 0.04% (13th percentile), CISA KEV does not list it, no PoC or exploit reference is provided, and the vuln.today Decision label is 'monitor' rather than act_now/emergency. CISA SSVC further reports Exploitation: none and - notably - Technical Impact: 'partial', which directly contradicts the CVSS C:H/I:H/A:H 'total' rating; this discrepancy should be verified with Microsoft, as it may indicate the real-world impact is narrower than the 10.0 implies. SSVC Automatable: yes means that IF a technique emerges it could be scaled, so this warrants tracking even though nothing indicates current exploitation. On balance this reads as a genuinely severe-by-design access-control defect in a Microsoft-operated cloud service that is not presently an active-exploitation emergency; because Azure AI Foundry is a hosted service, the vendor-side fix is likely already applied, which also tempers urgency. Treat as high-severity-but-low-current-exploitation and follow Microsoft's guidance.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker on the network reaches an Azure AI Foundry agent that has been published to Microsoft 365 and abuses an improper access-control check to gain privileges they should not hold, potentially acting across the scope-changed boundary into M365 resources. No public exploit or PoC is identified, and the exact trigger is not described in the available sources. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates the attack is network-reachable, low-complexity, and needs no authentication or user interaction.

AnalysisAIv2 – Oct 26, 2026

Improper access control in Microsoft Azure AI Foundry agents published to Microsoft 365 lets unauthenticated remote attackers elevate privileges across a network boundary, and Microsoft rates the flaw CVSS 10.0 with scope change and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Only environments with agents published to Microsoft 365 are in scope; the precise access-control defect and its trigger are not described in the available sources. Microsoft lists a vendor-side patch, EPSS is 0.04% (13th percentile), CISA SSVC reports no known exploitation, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis, so the vuln.today decision label is monitor despite the maximum base score.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 May 07, 2026 - 22:03 CVSS 8.6

Confidentiality breach in Azure AI Foundry M365 published agents enables remote unauthenticated attackers to access high-value data through improper access control (CWE-284). The vulnerability affects agents published through M365 integration, allowing privilege escalation over the network with no authentication required and low attack complexity (CVSS:3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Microsoft has released a vendor patch per MSRC advisory. No active exploitation confirmed by CISA KEV, and EPSS data not available at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: Microsoft documents remediation in its MSRC update guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-35435. Because Azure AI Foundry is a Microsoft-operated service, the fix is applied vendor-side rather than as a customer-installed package, and no customer-applicable fix version is specified in the available data. Customers should inventory Azure AI Foundry agents published to Microsoft 365, since that published-agent integration is the affected surface, and confirm with Microsoft that the service-side update is in place for those agents. If immediate vendor-side confirmation is unavailable, restrict network reachability to the affected published-agent endpoints as a compensating control, recognizing that this limits legitimate access to those agents.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Azure AI Foundry is Microsoft's platform for building, deploying, and publishing AI agents, and the affected surface is specifically the integration that publishes agents into Microsoft 365. The root cause class is CWE-284 improper access control, meaning the published-agent path does not enforce the intended authorization boundary; the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring no authentication or user interaction, with scope change and high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:azure_ai_foundry:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is a wildcard entry, and EUVD records the affected version as 'Azure AI Foundry -' with no granular version range, so the available data does not identify a specific build boundary. Because Azure AI Foundry is a Microsoft-operated service, the remediation is applied vendor-side rather than through a customer-installed package, which constrains the realistic exploitation window; the trigger itself is not described in the available sources.
