Microsoft Warns of OAuth Redirect Abuse Delivering Malware to Government Targets

In March 2026, Microsoft identified phishing campaigns exploiting OAuth's standard redirection mechanisms to deliver malware to government and public-sector organizations. Attackers created malicious applications with redirect URLs pointing to rogue domains hosting malware. They distributed OAuth phishing links prompting recipients to authenticate via these applications using intentionally invalid scopes. This process redirected users to attacker-controlled pages, leading to inadvertent malware downloads. The payloads, often in ZIP archives, executed PowerShell commands upon opening, resulting in host reconnaissance, DLL side-loading, and connections to external command-and-control servers. Phishing emails employed lures such as e-signature requests, Teams recordings, and financial themes, sent through mass-sending tools and custom solutions developed in Python and Node.js. Microsoft has since removed several malicious OAuth applications and advises organizations to limit user consent, periodically review application permissions, and remove unused or overprivileged apps.
