# New attack turned Microsoft 365 Copilot into 1-click data theft tool

**[BleepingComputer](https://daily.dev/sources/bleepingcomputer)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Researchers at Varonis discovered a critical vulnerability chain called SearchLeak (CVE-2026-42824) in Microsoft 365 Copilot Enterprise that enabled one-click data theft from a victim's mailbox, OneDrive, or SharePoint. The attack chains three flaws: a parameter-to-prompt (P2P) injection via the 'q' URL parameter, an HTML rendering race condition that allows an img tag to fire before sanitization completes, and a Bing SSRF that bypasses Content Security Policy by using Bing as an unwitting exfiltration proxy. The victim only needs to click a crafted link; Copilot silently searches their data and embeds results in an outbound image request. Microsoft patched the issue and assigned it a critical severity rating. No user action is required now that the fix is deployed.
