How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability in Dynamics 365 Sales allows attackers to spoof the system’s interface, which can be achieved by manipulating the way the system processes certain types of data. This leads to the system accepting unauthenticated or tampered requests, potentially giving the attacker unauthorized access to sensitive data or control over the system.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example of how this spoofing vulnerability might be exploited using a malicious HTTP request:
POST /dynamics365/sales/api HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "spoofed_request": "get_all_customer_data" }
In this example, an attacker sends a spoofed request, disguised as a legitimate query, to the Dynamics 365 Sales API endpoint. The system, due to the vulnerability, processes this request and responds with sensitive customer data.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as it’s available. In the meantime, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation by detecting and blocking potentially malicious requests. This is, however, a stopgap measure and not a complete solution, so it’s essential to apply the vendor patch once it’s released.
