Critical Flaw: Entra ID Vulnerability Allows Global Tenant Compromise

2025-09-18

A critical vulnerability in Microsoft Entra ID allows attackers to compromise virtually any tenant globally (excluding national cloud deployments). Undocumented "Actor tokens" and a flaw in the Azure AD Graph API enable full access. Attackers can brute-force or leverage B2B trusts to obtain a user's netId, impersonate administrators, and gain complete control, accessing sensitive data and modifying settings. No prerequisites are needed. Microsoft patched the vulnerability (CVE-2025-55241), highlighting inherent risks in the Actor token design.
