Microsoft has confirmed a maximum severity remote-code execution vulnerability in Entra ID that is being actively exploited in the wild. The company states the flaw has been fully mitigated and requires no further action from customers.
Researchers have identified a new attack technique called Cryptographic Context Injection that encrypts malicious instructions to evade safety guardrails in AI models including Grok and Gemini. The method works by concealing harmful prompts until they are decrypted within a trusted execution environment, effectively bypassing existing content filtering mechanisms. This vulnerability highlights a novel attack vector against popular large language models that defenders should monitor.
