OAuth Redirection Abuse Analysis

How Attackers Weaponize Trusted Identity Endpoints
Threat actors are increasingly exploiting OAuth’s error-handling behavior to route phishing victims through login.microsoftonline.com , accounts.google.com. By crafting URLs that are designed to fail, attackers can silently redirect users to malicious infrastructure.
The “Poison Pill” URL: Attackers use the
prompt=none and an invalid scope to force an immediate redirect without the victim seeing a single Microsoft or Google UI element.Anatomy of a Malicious Authorization Request
GET /common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
?client_id=<attacker_app_id>
&prompt=none
&scope=INVALID_SCOPE
&response_type=code
&redirect_uri=https://attacker-c2.com/phish
?client_id=<attacker_app_id>
&prompt=none
&scope=INVALID_SCOPE
&response_type=code
&redirect_uri=https://attacker-c2.com/phish
Detection & Mitigation Strategies
- Monitor for Error 65001: Audit Entra ID sign-in logs for
resultType = 65001involving unknown application IDs. - Restrict User Consent: Disable user-led consent for multi-tenant applications or restrict it to “Verified Publishers” only.
- Analyze State Parameters: Inbound emails containing OAuth URLs where the
stateparameter decodes to a victim’s email address are high-confidence indicators of phishing.
