I feel like I remember a similar attack related to Entra ID from a while ago, although I can't remember exactly what it was (maybe [0] or [1]?).. I understand that this is a complex system, but I would be concerned with the number of relatively high severity vulnerabilities being found in it.

You could get into Microsoft's tenant with any Entra account.

That's because Microsoft's own fucking developers don't even understand how Entra authentication/authorization works, and that in some/most scenarios you'll need to check if a account is actually authorized to enter a protected resource post-login (which you need to do within the Oauth login flow in the resource being accessed, nobody will do it for you).

Something I already discovered by accident (and fixed, ofcourse!) in my own SaaS service at the time (with support for Entra B2B authentication) even before this researcher discovered the same at Microsoft:

Ah yeah, that eye.security post was the one I had seen before. Thanks!
