Microsoft 365 Android Apps Let Any App Steal Account Tokens via Leftover Debug Flag

A vulnerability in several Microsoft 365 Android applications, identified as FlagLeft, was caused by a development flag left enabled in production builds, which disabled checks meant to restrict account-token sharing to trusted applications. This flaw affected applications such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Loop, and OneNote, allowing unauthorized apps to request and obtain user tokens without permission. Microsoft Teams was unaffected. The vulnerability was demonstrated by Enclave, allowing access to user emails through an unverified app. On May 12, Microsoft issued four CVEs for the affected applications, categorized under improper access control. The patched version of Word for Android is 16.0.19822.20190, and users are advised to update their applications. The patch does not invalidate already compromised tokens, so users should revoke these tokens and sign in again.

How to Transform Your Old PC Into the Ultimate Windows Steam Console

Valve’s Steam Machine is set for release in early 2026 and will run on Valve’s Linux-based Steam OS. Gamers can build a custom Windows-based gaming PC inspired by the Steam Machine using components like an AMD Ryzen CPU, Asus RX960 XT Radeon GPU, and 16GB+ RAM. Installing Windows allows for broader game compatibility, while Steam’s Big Picture Mode offers a console-like interface. The custom build process involves selecting appropriate hardware, assembling it, and optimizing performance for modern games. Building a custom Steam Machine provides insights into hardware assembly and system optimization, resulting in a portable, high-performance gaming solution.

ADCS Now Generates Post-Quantum Certificates For Windows

Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) now supports the generation of post-quantum certificates, enhancing quantum-safe cryptography within Windows' secure connection protocols. Microsoft has integrated PQ TLS hybrid key exchange into the Windows Transport Layer Security (TLS) stack, providing protection against "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks. The PQ TLS hybrid key exchange combines traditional cryptographic methods with the NIST ML-KEM algorithm, offering three hybrid combinations: X25519MLKEM768, SecP256r1MLKEM768, and SecP384r1_MLKEM1024. This feature is available in preview via the Windows Insider Program and will be rolled out to Windows 11 and Windows Server. Additionally, Windows cryptography APIs now support composite ML-KEM and ML-DSA algorithms, which are NIST-approved standards for key exchange and digital signatures, enhancing security by requiring multiple components to be compromised. Microsoft emphasizes the importance of establishing new Certification Authorities (CAs) for implementing post-quantum certificate issuance, as existing CAs cannot be upgraded. The introduction of ML-DSA support within ADCS allows organizations to counter HNDL risks associated with long-lived data. Organizations are encouraged to inventory their use of public-key cryptography, prioritize systems protecting sensitive data, and test hybrid and composite approaches in non-production environments to facilitate a smooth transition to quantum-safe cryptography.

Rivian Software Chief Says Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Are Redundant in the World of AI

Rivian's Chief Software Officer, Wassym Bensaid, has stated that the integration of artificial intelligence in vehicles may soon replace dedicated app integration, moving beyond traditional screen mirroring methods. He argues that current reliance on screen mirroring detracts from the user experience designed by automotive engineers. Rivian plans to use voice commands to enhance user interaction and create a more cohesive experience. Bensaid believes that with Rivian's level of integration and convenience, traditional systems like CarPlay and Android Auto may become obsolete. This shift could allow automakers greater control over customer experiences and new revenue opportunities, although the transition will take time as the necessary tools are still being developed.
