Vulnerability in Microsoft Azure API Management (CVE-2025-66390)
Summary
Vulnerability in Microsoft Azure API Management (CVE-2025-66390). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via Host header.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In Microsoft Azure API Management through 2025-10-17, when self-service signup (username/password Basic Authentication) is enabled in Tenant A, an attacker can reuse the registration flow by changing the hostname or tenant identifier to Tenant B, even when Tenant B has signup disabled at the UI level. In other words, disabling signup in the UI does not disable the underlying API endpoint (which still accepts cross-tenant requests based on the Host header). NOTE: The supplier states that they evaluated the report and determined it did not cross a security boundary (i.e., the observed behavior was a configuration/state issue rather than an exploitable product vulnerability affecting tenant isolation).
