CVE-2020-16969

Disclosure Date: October 16, 2020
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in how Microsoft Exchange validates tokens when handling certain messages. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use this to gain further information from a user.

To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could include specially crafted OWA messages that could be loaded, without warning or filtering, from the attacker-controlled URL. This callback vector provides an information disclosure tactic used in web beacons and other types of tracking systems.

The security update corrects the way that Exchange handles these token validations.
