CVE-2026-33102 is an open redirect vulnerability (CWE-601) affecting M365 Copilot, a component of Microsoft 365. The flaw enables URL redirection to untrusted sites, which can be exploited by unauthorized attackers over a network to elevate privileges. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N), indicating critical severity due to high confidentiality and integrity impacts with a change in scope.

An unauthorized attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into interacting with a malicious link or redirect (UI:R required). No prior privileges are needed (PR:N), and the attack has low complexity (AC:L). Successful exploitation allows privilege elevation, potentially leading to high-impact unauthorized access to sensitive data or actions within the M365 environment.

Microsoft's Security Response Center (MSRC) provides mitigation guidance and patch details in its update guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-33102. Security practitioners should consult this advisory for deployment instructions and verify system updates.

This vulnerability occurs in M365 Copilot, an AI-powered productivity tool, highlighting risks in AI-integrated enterprise software where open redirects could amplify phishing or social engineering attacks. No public evidence of real-world exploitation is available as of publication on 2026-04-23.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Input validation directly checks and rejects untrusted redirect targets before they are used in a response.

Information flow enforcement can restrict redirects to only approved/trusted destinations, stopping untrusted user-supplied URLs from being followed.
