OAuth Attacks Targeting Microsoft 365 & GitHub – What You Need to Know Now
In today's digital-first world, securing your organization’s cloud infrastructure has never been more critical. Yet, as platforms like Microsoft 365 and GitHub become more embedded in enterprise operations, cybercriminals are sharpening their methods to exploit them—particularly through malicious OAuth apps.
Recent campaigns show a dangerous surge in OAuth attacks, where attackers exploit user trust and redirect them to phishing or malware-laden sites through cleverly disguised apps. These attacks are not just clever—they’re devastating.

Understanding the Attack Vectors
Fake OAuth applications mimicking trusted brands like Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Drive, and DocuSign are being used to fool users into granting access. Once authorized, attackers can access sensitive data, bypass security, and even maintain persistent control—all without stealing a single password.
A parallel campaign is hitting developers hard. Over 8,000 GitHub repositories have been targeted using fake security alerts. Developers clicking on these alerts inadvertently authorize rogue OAuth apps, giving attackers full control of their code.

These threats highlight critical vulnerabilities in how OAuth is used—and abused. Because these apps often request minimal, non-suspicious permissions, they easily sneak past filters and controls. Once inside, attackers use legitimate APIs to wreak havoc—no malware, no brute force, just access.
