Microsoft 365 Copilot Vulnerabilities
CVE-2026-26129 impacts Microsoft 365 Copilot’s Business Chat. The problem comes from not properly handling special characters in the output, which could let an attacker reveal sensitive information on a network.
CVE-2026-26164 affects M365 Copilot and falls under CWE-74 (Bad Handling of Special Elements in Output Used by Another Part — Injection).
The attack comes from the network, does not need special access or user actions, and has a big effect on confidentiality. The chance of it being exploited is rated as “Exploitation Less Likely,” and the readiness of the exploit code is marked as untested.
CVE-2026-33111 impacts Copilot Chat in Microsoft Edge and is categorized as CWE-77 (Improper Control of Special Elements in a Command — Command Injection).
It has the same CVSS score of 7.5 / 6.5 (temporal) as CVE-2026-26164. It also has the same attack type: it can be accessed through a network, does not need special permissions, does not require user actions, and has a big impact on confidentiality.
Microsoft thanked Estevam Arantes of Microsoft for finding both CVE-2026-26129 and CVE-2026-26164. They also gave credit to independent researcher 0xSombra for CVE-2026-26164.
Microsoft has put fixes in place at the service level. Companies do not have to install updates or change settings.
Security teams should check Copilot’s data access permissions and apply least-privilege rules to lower the risk of similar problems in the future.
