CVE-2026-26123 is an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft Authenticator for Android and iOS. Based on the provided content, the issue stems from Microsoft Authenticator not properly claiming or exclusively handling the ms-msa:// deep link used during onboarding, sign-in, and QR-code-based 2FA setup flows. Because the scheme was not securely bound to the legitimate app, a malicious application installed on the same device could register itself as a handler for the ms-msa scheme and receive authentication data intended for Microsoft Authenticator. Reported intercepted data includes authentication tokens, one-time login codes, and special sign-in links embedded in the deep link. In the described attack flow, a victim scans a legitimate Microsoft QR code or taps a sign-in link, then the malicious app is selected to open the deep link, allowing it to extract the code parameter and exfiltrate it. The vulnerability is local to the device and depends on user interaction, but it can undermine MFA workflow integrity and enable unauthorized access to Microsoft accounts and related services.
