Illicit or over-consented OAuth grant ​(T1528)

An app whose publisher isn't verified has consent to sensitive data: a tenant-wide grant that stays valid while no one is signed in, or the same kind of grant from many users.

Why it matters

Illicit consent is how an attacker keeps reading mail and files as the user, with no password and no sign-in prompt, until someone revokes the consent.

How GraphnAI finds it

It runs after every sync, on each connected domain or tenant on its own. It applies to Microsoft Entra ID.

It reads:

  • The directory attributes servicePrincipalType, appOwnerClass, appOwnerOrganizationId and verifiedPublisher
  • 4 more GraphnAI analyses

Tiered Fidelity™ level: Theoretical

Every finding from this check carries the Theoretical level.

  1. TheoreticalThis checkConfigured in the directory. Nothing else checked.
  2. ConstrainedA constraint on it has been checked.
  3. ValidatedTelemetry has seen it in use.

Why there's no automatic fix

GraphnAI can't revoke one app's consent across every user who gave it yet. Revoke it in Microsoft Entra, in the enterprise application's permissions.

How to fix it

This app's publisher isn't verified, and it has consent to sensitive data. Review who consented and why. Revoke the consent if no one can account for it.
