CVE-2025-47732: CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Microsoft Microsoft Dataverse
Deserialization of untrusted data in Microsoft Dataverse allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-47732 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-502, which pertains to the deserialization of untrusted data within Microsoft Dataverse. Deserialization vulnerabilities occur when an application deserializes data from untrusted sources without sufficient validation, allowing attackers to manipulate serialized objects to execute arbitrary code. In this case, an authorized attacker—meaning one with some level of access privileges—can exploit this flaw remotely over a network to execute code, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected system's confidentiality and integrity. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.7, reflecting a high severity due to the network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requirement for privileges (PR:L), and user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that exploitation can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. The vulnerability does not impact availability (A:N) but has high impact on confidentiality and integrity (C:H/I:H). Microsoft Dataverse is a cloud-based data platform widely used in enterprise environments for business applications and data integration, making this vulnerability particularly concerning for organizations relying on this service. No patches or known exploits are currently available, but the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and enriched by CISA, indicating its significance. The lack of patches means organizations must rely on mitigations until updates are released. The vulnerability's exploitation requires an attacker to have some level of authorization and user interaction, which may limit mass exploitation but still poses a serious risk in targeted attacks.
Potential Impact
The potential impact of CVE-2025-47732 is significant for organizations using Microsoft Dataverse, especially those handling sensitive or critical business data. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized data manipulation, or lateral movement within the network. Confidentiality and integrity of data stored or processed by Dataverse can be severely compromised. Since Dataverse is often integrated with other Microsoft business applications and workflows, the vulnerability could serve as a pivot point for broader enterprise compromise. The requirement for privileges and user interaction reduces the likelihood of widespread automated exploitation but does not eliminate the risk of targeted attacks against high-value organizations. The absence of availability impact means systems may remain operational while compromised, increasing the risk of stealthy attacks. Overall, the vulnerability threatens enterprise data security, regulatory compliance, and operational trust in Microsoft cloud services.
Mitigation Recommendations
Until official patches are released, organizations should implement several specific mitigations to reduce risk: 1) Restrict and audit user privileges in Microsoft Dataverse to the minimum necessary, reducing the pool of potential attackers with required authorization. 2) Enforce strict input validation and sanitization on data entering Dataverse to prevent malicious serialized objects from being processed. 3) Implement network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to Dataverse management interfaces and APIs only to trusted users and systems. 4) Enable detailed logging and monitoring of Dataverse activities to detect unusual deserialization attempts or anomalous user behavior indicative of exploitation. 5) Educate users about phishing and social engineering risks that could lead to the required user interaction for exploitation. 6) Prepare incident response plans specific to cloud service compromises involving Microsoft Dataverse. 7) Stay updated with Microsoft security advisories and apply patches immediately upon release. 8) Consider deploying application-layer firewalls or runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions that can detect and block deserialization attacks. These targeted measures go beyond generic advice and address the specific nature of this vulnerability.
