CVE-2024-30047 is a high-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, specifically affecting version 10.0.0. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79, which involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This flaw allows an attacker with low privileges (PR:L) to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users, exploiting the lack of proper input sanitization or output encoding. The vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R), such as a victim clicking a crafted link or viewing manipulated content, to trigger the exploit. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), meaning the attacker can exploit the vulnerability remotely without physical access. The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially compromised component, potentially impacting other users or systems. The impact on confidentiality is high (C:H), as the attacker can steal sensitive information, including session tokens or personal data. Integrity impact is low (I:L), as the attacker’s ability to modify data is limited, and availability is not affected (A:N). The vulnerability has no known exploits in the wild as of the publication date (May 14, 2024), but the presence of a high CVSS score (7.6) and the nature of XSS vulnerabilities suggest a significant risk if exploited. No patch links are currently available, indicating that organizations must rely on interim mitigations until an official fix is released. This vulnerability is particularly concerning for organizations using Dynamics 365 Customer Insights for customer data aggregation and analytics, as successful exploitation could lead to session hijacking, phishing, or unauthorized data disclosure within the affected web application context.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2024-30047 can be substantial, especially for enterprises relying heavily on Microsoft Dynamics 365 for customer relationship management and data insights. The high confidentiality impact means that sensitive customer data, including personally identifiable information (PII), could be exposed, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. This exposure could lead to regulatory fines, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust. The scope change characteristic of the vulnerability implies that a successful attack might compromise multiple user sessions or escalate privileges within the application environment. Given the interconnected nature of Dynamics 365 with other Microsoft services and third-party integrations, the vulnerability could serve as a pivot point for broader attacks within enterprise networks. Additionally, the requirement for user interaction means that social engineering or phishing campaigns could be used to increase the attack success rate. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the widespread use of Dynamics 365 in sectors such as finance, retail, and public administration across Europe elevates the risk profile. Organizations may face operational disruptions if attackers leverage this vulnerability to conduct targeted attacks or data exfiltration.

Implement strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts within Dynamics 365 web pages, reducing the impact of potential XSS payloads. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules tailored to detect and block suspicious input patterns targeting Dynamics 365 Customer Insights interfaces. Conduct thorough input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data within custom Dynamics 365 extensions or integrations to prevent injection of malicious scripts. Educate users and administrators on recognizing phishing attempts and suspicious links that could trigger the vulnerability, minimizing the risk from required user interaction. Monitor Dynamics 365 logs and network traffic for unusual activities indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unexpected script injections or anomalous session behaviors. Apply principle of least privilege for Dynamics 365 user roles to limit the potential damage from compromised accounts with low privileges. Stay informed through Microsoft security advisories for the release of official patches and apply them promptly once available. Consider isolating or segmenting Dynamics 365 Customer Insights environments to contain potential breaches and limit lateral movement within enterprise networks.
