Azure DevOps Access Vulnerabilities Identified in Recent Analysis
/ 1 min read
🔑 Azure DevOps access vulnerabilities expose potential security risks. A recent analysis highlights how Azure DevOps can be accessed through multiple first-party client IDs, allowing attackers to pivot from stolen sessions to gain access to repositories. The assessment revealed that undocumented features in Azure Active Directory enable certain Microsoft OAuth client applications to obtain special refresh tokens, facilitating unauthorized access. By leveraging a Python script, researchers identified several client IDs, including Microsoft Azure CLI and PowerShell, that can access Azure DevOps resources. The findings underscore the importance of implementing conditional access rules with IP filters to mitigate risks, as attackers could exploit DevOps environments to compromise developer identities and potentially infiltrate production systems. For further security hardening, organizations are encouraged to review existing policies and practices.
