CVE-2025-24053
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper authentication in Microsoft Dataverse allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceImproper authentication vulnerability in Microsoft Dataverse enables an already-authorized attacker to escalate their privileges by exploiting the authentication mechanism over a network. The flaw allows a user with some access to bypass proper authentication checks and gain higher-level permissions within the Dataverse environment.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Dataverse usageIdentify if your environment uses Microsoft Dataverse as a data platform service. Check for Dataverse-connected applications, Power Platform solutions (Power Apps, Power Automate), or Dynamics 365 deployments that rely on Dataverse for data storage.Affected if Your organization uses Microsoft Dataverse for any application or service.
-
Review Dataverse audit logs for role changesAccess the Dataverse audit log history and search for unexpected or unauthorized changes to security roles, privileges, or user memberships. Use the 'Audit Summary' view or Power Platform Admin Center audit logs to examine role modification events.Affected if Audit logs show role changes or security modifications that were not initiated by authorized administrators.
-
Check for anomalous data access patternsExamine Dataverse audit logs for records showing users accessing data tables or records outside their assigned security roles. Look for access events to tables, fields, or rows the user normally would not have permission to view.Affected if Audit logs reveal data access events by users that exceed their documented permission levels.
-
Review Power Platform audit logs for privilege escalationUse Microsoft 365 Defender or Power Platform Admin Center to review audit logs for privilege escalation indicators, including unexpected user privilege changes, authentication anomalies, or operations performed with elevated permissions.Affected if Audit records show authentication events or operations that bypass normal authorization checks.
Your environment is affected if you use Microsoft Dataverse and audit logs show any unauthorized privilege escalation, unexpected role changes, or data access beyond assigned permissions.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply Microsoft's security update for Dataverse when released. Review Dataverse audit logs for suspicious privilege escalation activity, such as unexpected role changes or access to data outside normal permissions.
