-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Advisory ID: SYSS-2017-011 Product: Office 365 (Sharepoint) Manufacturer: Microsoft Affected Version(s): ? Tested Version(s): Office 365 Enterprise E3 (version from February 2017) Vulnerability Type: Insufficient Session Expiration (CWE-613) Risk Level: Low Solution Status: Open Manufacturer Notification: 2017-03-01 Solution Date: Public Disclosure: 2017-07-04 CVE Reference: Not yet assigned Authors of Advisory: Micha Borrmann (SySS GmbH) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overview: Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E3 is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product that provides access to different Microsoft productivity software (see [1]). Due to an error in the session management, it is possible to still use Sharepoint after the user logged out via the provided logout function. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vulnerability Details: SySS GmbH found out that the application is not properly invalidating the used session cookies rtFa and FedAuth when the provided logout function is used. If an attacker can gain access to these two session cookies of an authenticated user, he can still use Sharepoint in Office 365, even if the user logged out via the logout function, the user was disabled in the Azure AD and the license to use Office 365 was revoked for this user, too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proof of Concept (PoC): The described security issue concerning the session management of Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E3 could be successfully demonstrated via an interception proxy like Burp Suite. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Solution: The SySS GmbH found out, that deletion of the user within Azure AD make it impossible for the user to use Office 365 anymore.
