Summary

  • During testing of Microsoft’s Copilot chatbot, it was found that improper input validation could allow for the exfiltration of data from a user’s SharePoint files.
  • This could be exploited by getting the chatbot to preview code containing a remotely hosted image in an tag.
  • In some cases, the image could be loaded into the chatbot preview, and its data extracted, potentially allowing for the exfiltration of data from the user’s SharePoint folders.
  • This could provide an attacker with access to confidential information without ever needing to directly access the SharePoint platform.
  • Following responsible disclosure, Microsoft fixed the issue by blocking the loading of the image data via the chatbot interface.
