ConsentFix and ClickFix: How Microsoft 365 Accounts are Hijacked in 3 Seconds
Microsoft 365 accounts can be compromised through ConsentFix and ClickFix attacks, which exploit fake authentication prompts and OAuth flows to steal tokens within seconds. These techniques bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) by deceiving users into granting unauthorized consent. Organizations can implement defensive measures to mitigate this OAuth-based hijacking vector.
Why it matters: Practitioners should review OAuth app permission policies and user awareness training, as these attacks defeat MFA and provide rapid account compromise.

ConsentFix and ClickFix: How Microsoft 365 Accounts are Hijacked in 3 Seconds
ConsentFix and ClickFix attacks compromise Microsoft 365 accounts by exploiting fake authentication prompts and OAuth flows to steal tokens within seconds, bypassing multifactor authentication. The attacks use social engineering to trick users into granting token access through malicious consent dialogs.
Why it matters: Microsoft 365 users and administrators need to recognize these token-theft tactics and enforce conditional access policies, app permission reviews, and security awareness training to prevent account compromise regardless of MFA status.
