Microsoft Patches CVSS 10.0 Azure AI Foundry Flaw Enabling Unauthorized Privilege Escalation

Microsoft released patches for CVE-2026-85889, a maximum-severity flaw in Azure artificial intelligence (AI) Foundry that stems from missing authentication on a critical function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability over the network to escalate privileges without authorization. The vendor stated that no customer action is required.

Why it matters: Organizations using Azure AI Foundry should verify that patches have been applied, as the CVSS 10.0 rating indicates an unauthenticated remote privilege escalation that could allow attackers to gain elevated access to AI resources and data.
