Summary

Microsoft Identity Web versions from 4.16.0 before 4.16.1 and versions before 3.16.0 are affected. Authentication can be bypassed because the product relies on data it assumes is immutable (CWE-302). An authorized remote attacker with low privileges and high attack complexity can escalate privileges over the network.
