| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N). The attacker must be able to reach the affected Power Automate for Desktop instance over a network (AV:N). No special non-default configuration is indicated as a prerequisite based on available data. Key limiting factors: the attacker must already possess valid credentials for the target environment, the attack is classified as not automatable by SSVC (ruling out mass exploitation), and the scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the impact is contained to the vulnerable component itself. Organizations where Power Automate for Desktop is isolated to workstations without network-accessible interfaces, or where it does not handle highly sensitive data, face reduced practical risk. |
| Impact | The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N describes a low-complexity, network-accessible flaw requiring only low-privilege authentication, with high confidentiality impact - metrics that could suggest elevated priority. However, multiple signals substantially reduce practical urgency: EPSS is only 0.11% (29th percentile), indicating very low observed exploitation probability relative to the broader vulnerability population. CISA KEV status is absent. SSVC assessment confirms exploitation status as 'none', classifies the flaw as not automatable, and characterizes technical impact as only partial. Together these signals indicate this is a real but lower-priority vulnerability - important to patch in environments where Power Automate for Desktop handles sensitive data, but unlikely to be targeted opportunistically. No CVSS signal conflicts are observed; the PR:L requirement meaningfully limits the attacker pool to those already authenticated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with low-privilege credentials on the target network - such as a standard domain user in an enterprise environment - queries or interacts with Power Automate for Desktop over the network in a manner that causes the application to return sensitive data beyond what that user is authorized to access. No publicly available exploit code or proof-of-concept has been identified at the time of analysis, and SSVC indicates the attack is not automatable, suggesting exploitation requires some manual interaction or knowledge of the application's behavior. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026
Information disclosure in Microsoft Power Automate for Desktop (all versions from 1.0.0.0 up to but not including 2.67) enables an authenticated, low-privileged attacker operating over the network to access sensitive data they are not authorized to view. The flaw, rooted in CWE-200 improper exposure of sensitive information, carries a CVSS 6.5 score reflecting high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability consequence. No active exploitation has been confirmed - EPSS stands at 0.11% and CISA KEV listing is absent - but patch availability from Microsoft makes remediation straightforward.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Microsoft Power Automate for Desktop to version 2.67 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch per the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-40374. Organizations should prioritize patching in environments where Power Automate workflows handle sensitive data such as credentials, PII, or proprietary business process information, as these represent the highest-impact exposure scenarios. If immediate patching is not feasible, restricting network access to Power Automate for Desktop endpoints - for example, via host-based firewall rules limiting which authenticated accounts or subnets can reach the application's network-facing components - can reduce the attack surface, though this may impact legitimate automation workflows. Additional monitoring of Power Automate Desktop network traffic for anomalous data egress can serve as a detective control in the interim.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Power Automate for Desktop is Microsoft's robotic process automation (RPA) client application, identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:power_automate_for_desktop:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. It enables users to automate desktop and web-based workflows, often interacting with sensitive business data, credentials, and enterprise system integrations. CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) indicates that the application fails to properly restrict what data is accessible or transmitted to authenticated users, allowing data intended for more privileged contexts to leak across a network channel. Given the RPA nature of the product, the sensitive information at risk may include workflow configurations, stored credentials, or business process data.
