Security Advisory – Outlook Web Access and Exchange Weaknesses Expose User Emails and Internal Networks
The majority of corporations leverage Microsoft Exchange as their primary email platform. In addition, many companies extend the use of corporate email to employees who work from home or while on the road. For these work-from-home employees, as well as “road warriors,” to access their email, corporations often make their email system externally accessible via Outlook Web Access (OWA, Office365) or ActiveSync, which uses a feature called the Autodiscover service. This service minimizes user configuration and deployment steps by providing email clients access (Outlook) to Exchange features. In this Flash Report, we explain how weaknesses in Exchange and OWA email can expose user email accounts as well as enable a bad actor to gain remote access to the internal network and data.
