CVE-2024-21632
CWE-287Published: January 2, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
omniauth-microsoft_graph provides an Omniauth strategy for the Microsoft Graph API. Prior to versions 2.0.0, the implementation did not validate the legitimacy of the `email` attribute of the user nor did it give/document an option to do so, making it susceptible to nOAuth misconfiguration in cases when the `email` is used as a trusted user identifier. This could lead to account takeover. Version 2.0.0 contains a fix for this issue.
Risk Analysis
The omniauth-microsoft_graph library fails to validate the email attribute, leading to a nOAuth misconfiguration. This can allow an attacker to perform account takeovers by spoofing user identifiers.
There is no known public exploit, and it is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.
Update omniauth-microsoft_graph to version 2.0.0 or later. Ensure that email identifiers are properly validated against trusted sources.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-21632 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
