Microsoft hat im Authenticator eine Sicherheitslücke geschlossen, durch die bösartige Apps hätten Zugangstoken abgreifen können.

A patched Microsoft Authenticator flaw let a rogue Android app pose as a trusted installed app and obtain tokens authorizing work email and file access.

Microsoft Authenticator Vulnerability Exposes Android Tokens For countless enterprises, the primary bastion defending corporate credentials on mobile devices has been a trusted validation application. However, until a critical patch arrived this September, the Android iteration of Microsoft Authenticator harbored a staggering flaw. Specifically, it effectively surrendered sensitive access tokens for email, calendars, and collaborative platforms. It gave these keys to any software that simply requested them with a polite disguise.

Security researcher Ofek Levin recently unveiled a severe vulnerability chain named AuthMask. Specifically, this flaw tracked as CVE-2026-80097 allowed malicious Android applications to hijack corporate authentication tokens. Rogue software bypassed security barriers by impersonating legitimate Microsoft applications installed on the same device. Consequently, attackers could exfiltrate sensitive credentials and compromise corporate cloud resources effortlessly. Exploiting Authentication Broker Trust Mechanisms Microsoft Authenticator often functions as an enterprise authentication broker rather than a simple code generator.
