| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires local access to the Android device and a low-privilege authenticated context - the CVSS vector AV:L/PR:L/UI:N confirms this. The attacker must be operating locally on the device (not remotely over a network), and must hold at least minimal authorization to interact with the device or application. This limits the realistic attacker population to: secondary users on shared/multi-user Android devices, co-resident malicious applications that have obtained relevant Android permissions, or an insider with physical device access. The spoofing impact is local in scope (S:U), meaning exploitation does not pivot to other systems or escalate beyond the Copilot application context. No special non-default configuration is described as required, but the local-only attack vector inherently limits exploitation to those with physical or logical presence on the affected device. |
| Impact | The aggregate risk signal across all sources is consistently low-to-moderate. CVSS 4.4 (Medium) reflects the local attack vector, low required privileges, limited C and I impact, and no availability impact - a constrained blast radius. EPSS at 0.04% (11th percentile) is well below thresholds that typically trigger emergency patching, suggesting the security community does not expect widespread opportunistic exploitation. CISA SSVC corroborates this: exploitation is rated 'none,' the attack is not automatable, and technical impact is only partial. There is no KEV listing and no public exploit code identified. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag in the intelligence data is notable - it may indicate the spoofing allows circumventing an authentication prompt or identity check within the app, but the CVSS PR:L metric confirms the attacker must already hold some level of authorized access. This is not a high-urgency emergency patch but should be addressed in a normal patch cycle, particularly for organizations deploying M365 Copilot on shared or BYOD Android devices where local privilege isolation may be weaker. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has established a low-privilege presence on a target Android device - for example, through a secondary user account or a sideloaded application with limited permissions - invokes the M365 Copilot app's local interfaces and exploits the improper access control to spoof identity or content, potentially misleading the device's primary user about the source or integrity of AI-generated responses. No public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, so exploitation currently requires custom tooling and direct local access. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026
Spoofing via improper access control in Microsoft 365 Copilot for Android (versions prior to 16.0.19822.20190) enables a locally authenticated attacker with low privileges to manipulate identity or content presentation within the application. The CVSS vector (AV:L/PR:L) confirms exploitation requires prior local access and an authenticated foothold on the device - this is not a remote or unauthenticated threat. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been identified; EPSS sits at 0.04% (11th percentile) and CISA SSVC rates it non-automatable with only partial technical impact.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to update Microsoft 365 Copilot for Android to version 16.0.19822.20190 or later via the Google Play Store; this is confirmed as a vendor-released patch per the MSRC advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-41100. Enterprise administrators using Microsoft Intune or other MDM solutions should push the update as part of the standard patch cycle and verify managed devices have received the update. As a compensating control prior to patching, organizations can restrict access to the M365 Copilot Android application on sensitive shared devices through conditional access policies in Microsoft Entra ID, limiting which users or device compliance states may launch the app - this reduces the pool of potential local attackers. Note that restricting app access may impact user productivity on legitimate BYOD devices.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-284 (Improper Access Control), meaning the application fails to adequately enforce authorization boundaries for certain local operations, allowing a lower-privileged user or process on the Android device to perform actions that should be restricted - specifically spoofing. The affected component is the Microsoft 365 Copilot Android application (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:microsoft_365_copilot_for_android:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), covering version 1.0 up to but not including build 16.0.19822.20190. On Android, 'local' access in this context implies an attacker who either shares the device or has obtained a low-privilege execution context (e.g., another app with appropriate permissions or a secondary device account), and can interact with the Copilot app's local IPC, intents, or content providers without proper validation.
