Microsoft Power Pages Improper Access Control Vulnerability
What it is
Microsoft Power Pages contains an improper access control vulnerability that allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network potentially bypassing the user registration control.
Who's affected
Affects anyone running Microsoft Power Pages. Microsoft products in a small practice typically sit close to credentials, email, or document workflows — treat the patch as in-scope.
What to do
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
CISA action deadline: March 14, 2025. Federal agencies must complete the required action by this date. For private SMBs the deadline is advisory — but treat it as a strong recommendation, especially if you handle regulated data (HIPAA, GLBA, ABA model rules).
