The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a critical security warning about multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft products, including Teams, Office, SharePoint, and Azure services. The flaws could let attackers steal data, escalate privileges, or run malicious code remotely. CERT-In, under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, said the issues stem from weak authentication and authorisation controls. The agency has classified the vulnerabilities as critical and advised all users to install the latest Microsoft security patches immediately. Organisations are also told to check for unusual network activity.
