Working attack chain described by researchers; Microsoft mitigated; not KEV-listed yet; PoC not independently verified.

What: Command injection in Microsoft 365 Copilot allowing unauthorized information disclosure via crafted URLs; CVSS 6.5 (Medium).

Why it matters: Posts describe a working one-click exfiltration chain (prompt injection + SSRF) exposing emails, MFA codes, and files. Microsoft deployed server-side mitigation. Not KEV-listed and no independent PoC confirmation visible, but researcher disclosures cite technical exploitation mechanics and real-world impact.

Where it's seen: Named "SearchLeak" across Bluesky and X; researcher breakdowns detailing injection chains; vendor acknowledgment of mitigation; threat intel aggregation citing the vulnerability as patched.

RISK: MODERATE — Server-side fix deployed; Medium CVSS; information disclosure only, no code execution.
