Authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel in Microsoft Entra ID allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker bypass authentication through an alternate path or channel and gain elevated privileges over the network. The flaw affects Microsoft's cloud identity-and-access-management service, which underpins sign-in and authorization for Microsoft 365, Azure, and countless federated third-party applications. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Per CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation over the network against Microsoft Entra ID, with no user interaction and low attack complexity. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.8) describes the maximal remote-unauthenticated profile: no privileges, no user interaction, low complexity, and total loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, which is consistent with the SSVC assessment of 'Automatable: yes, Technical Impact: total.' Counterbalancing this, the EPSS score is low at 0.58% (46th percentile) and SSVC exploitation status is 'none,' meaning no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing - the high score reflects potential severity, not observed activity. … 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 | Because Entra ID is a Microsoft-operated cloud service, the fix is applied by Microsoft server-side rather than by customer patching - Patch available per vendor advisory (MSRC): review https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-62916 for the specific mitigation and any required tenant-side actions. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Enable mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users immediately and configure Conditional Access policies to block high-risk sign-in attempts based on anomalous behavior; contact Microsoft support to review your tenant's configuration and escalate this CVE for priority patches. …
