I hacked the @SAP AI platform by changing my UID to 1337. …Yeah, really. This led to admin permissions on several SAP systems, but also access to customers’ secrets and private AI files 👀 This is the story of #SAPwned 🧵⬇️

I hacked into a @Bing CMS that allowed me to alter search results and take over millions of @Office365 accounts. How did I do it? Well, it all started with a simple click in @Azure … 👀 This is the story of #BingBang 🧵⬇️

We found a public AI repo on GitHub, exposing over 38TB of private files – including personal computer backups of @Microsoft employees 👨‍💻 How did it happen? 👀 A single misconfigured token in @Azure Storage is all it takes 🧵⬇️

@msftsecresponse quickly responded to our report, fixed the vulnerable applications, and introduced some AAD product and guidance changes to help customers mitigate this issue. For this, they awarded us with $40,000 bug bounty, which we will donate 💸

With this token, an attacker could fetch: Outlook emails ✉️ Calendars 📅 Teams messages 💬 SharePoint documents 📄 OneDrive files 📁 And more, from any Bing user! Here you can see my personal inbox being read on our “attacker machine”, using the exfiltrated Bing token:

I tested this theory by selecting the “best soundtracks” keyword and switching the first result from “Dune (2021)” to my personal favorite, “Hackers (1995)”. I was surprised to see this result immediately appear on !

I found a Microsoft app configured like this, and… just logged in 🤷🏻‍♂️ My user was immediately granted access to this “Bing Trivia” page. Don’t let the name fool you – it controls much more than just trivia. In fact, as I came to find out, it can control ACTUAL SEARCH RESULTS 🤯

My research started when our Research Team at @wiz_io first noticed a strange configuration in Azure. A single checkbox is all that separates an app from becoming “multi-tenant” – which by default, allows ALL USERS to log in.

I then checked for XSS viability, by adding a harmless payload into my new result. I refreshed the page, and my payload successfully executed! I quickly reverted my changes and reported everything to Microsoft, but one question remained on my mind – what can I do with this XSS?

When inspecting Bing requests, I noticed an endpoint being used for Office 365 communications. As it turns out, Bing is allowed to issue Office tokens for any logged-on user. I quickly crafted an XSS payload utilizing this functionality, tested it on myself, and it worked!

I started looking around to realize the app’s purpose and why I had access. I then found a section that contained some keywords and corresponding search results, which raised the question – could this app actually modify search results on ? 🔎

Microsoft’s AI research team published open-source training data using “SAS tokens” – sharable links granting access to Azure Storage data. Only instead of limiting access to specific files, the token granted access to the ENTIRE account, including *18* storage containers 🤯

Why did this happen? 🧐 Account SAS tokens are created offline, with no limit on their expiry or scope. They aren’t managed within the Azure portal, and they’re also difficult to revoke. These features help easy content sharing, but they can also serve as dangerous pitfalls.

With unrestricted access to SAP’s internal network, I started searching for interesting internal services. I quickly found a Grafana Loki server, several EFS file shares, and a Helm server. They all had one thing in common – they were fully accessible without authentication 🫠

How can you avoid this? 🚨 Avoid using Account SAS for external sharing. Azure offers more secure alternatives, such as Service SAS with Stored Access Policy (for long-term sharing), or User Delegation SAS (for short-lived access).

Using this access, I gained admin permissions to: ☸️ SAP AI Core’s K8s cluster 🐳 SAP’s container registries 🐸 SAP’s Artifactory server Allowing attackers to access: 📄 Internal logs 📁 Private customer files 🔑 Customers’ cloud secrets And more!

I started reading the traffic rules set by Istio. All network traffic was redirected to the proxy. Except… traffic by UID 1337? 🤨 Although I couldn’t be root, setting my UID to 1337 was still allowed. So that’s what I did. Crazily enough… it worked! 🤯

SAP AI Core allowed me to run AI training procedures – but with heavy restrictions. 🚫 I couldn’t run as root 🚫 Interesting permissions were removed 🚫 Access to the internal network was blocked by an @IstioMesh firewall So I wondered – how does this firewall actually work?

Ever wondered how AI chatbots work? And how can you hack and manipulate their behavior? We (+ @shirtamari ) created an AI CTF to highlight security pitfalls we observed in the wild. Think you can hack your way to a flight ticket? 🛩️ 👉 Check it out:
