To detect illicit OAuth consent grants in Azure AD, enumerate OAuth2 permission grants via Microsoft Graph API and analyze high-risk scopes alongside publisher verification status. This process flags suspicious consent events and generates a structured JSON report with remediation recommendations for revocation.

An illicit OAuth consent grant in Entra ID occurs when an attacker tricks a user into authorizing a malicious application with broad access scopes. This grants the attacker persistent access to directory data without requiring a password breach, making it a high-risk security threat.

You enumerate OAuth2 permission grants using Microsoft Graph API by authenticating with a tenant, client ID, and client secret. Once authenticated, the skill queries the Graph API to list active grants and correlates them with service principals and directory audit logs.

Yes, publisher verification status is analyzed to assess suspicious Azure AD consent grants. Unverified publishers combined with high-risk access scopes are strong indicators of potentially malicious consent events that require immediate investigation and potential revocation.

Yes, you can audit Azure AD service principals and directory audit logs for suspicious OAuth activity. The skill correlates OAuth2 permission grants with service principal configurations and audit log events to surface suspicious consent patterns and generate risk findings.

The best way to revoke suspicious OAuth2 permission grants in Entra ID is to follow the structured JSON report generated by the analysis. This report provides prioritized remediation recommendations for revocation and investigation based on the identified high-risk scopes and suspicious consent patterns.
