How it was found

The subdomain ███████ was pointing to an Azure Cloud App domain (araz-sp.centralus.cloudapp.azure.com), but that endpoint was not registered.

Impact

It's extremely vulnerable to attacks as a malicious user could create any web page with any content and host it on the vulnerable domain. This would allow them to post malicious content which would be mistaken for a valid site.

They could perform several attacks like:

  • Cookie Stealing
  • Phishing campaigns.
  • Bypass Content-Security Policies and CORS.

Recommendations for fix

  • Remove the affected DNS record if not used
