CVE-2025-29813 Azure DevOps Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Posted on Thursday May 08, 2025

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Visual Studio improperly handles pipeline job tokens. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could extend their access to a project. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to have access to the project and swap the short-term token for a long-term one. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Visual Studio updater handles these tokens.
