Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

oauth2/v2.0/token

Microsoft Entra ID Token Endpoint

What an attacker could do

Weak client authentication or leaked client secrets at the token endpoint let an attacker exchange stolen codes or refresh tokens for access tokens, impersonating users or service principals.

How to defend it

Require confidential-client secrets or certificate credentials, rotate secrets regularly, validate redirect URIs and PKCE, and monitor for anomalous token grants.
