M365 Copilot Business Chat SearchLeak Open-Redirect Prompt-Injection Exfil (CVE-2026-47645)

Detects the SearchLeak one-click exploitation associated with CVE-2026-47645 (open redirect / elevation of privilege in Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat). An attacker delivers a link to the trusted m365.cloud.microsoft/search/ endpoint with attacker instructions packed into the q= parameter (parameter-to-prompt injection); Copilot acts with the victim's privileges and exfiltrates mailbox/file data through a Bing image-proxy SSRF sink (searchbyimage?cbir=sbi&imgurl=attacker). This rule keys on that specific endpoint+q-injection link and the Bing image-search exfiltration sink, not on bare Microsoft or Bing URLs.

3. Advisory CVE-2026-47645 is an open redirect in M365 Copilot Business Chat exploited via m365.cloud.microsoft search links.

Real-world attack payloads, sanitized and versioned alongside the rule as regression tests — so a future revision can't silently stop catching them.

Benign Examples (Rule Doesn't Trigger)

1. Legitimate M365 Copilot search link with the SAME endpoint and q= parameter but a benign business query and no injected instructions or exfil markup

   Here is the Copilot search I ran: https://m365.cloud.microsoft/search/?auth=2&origindomain=microsoft365&q=quarterly%20revenue%20by%20region

2. Genuine Bing reverse-image-search of a Microsoft-hosted image — same searchbyimage/cbir=sbi path but a trusted Microsoft imgurl host and no captured-data tokens

   I used Bing reverse image search to find the source: https://www.bing.com/images/searchbyimage?cbir=sbi&imgurl=https://www.microsoft.com/logo.png

3. Generic product description of Copilot Business Chat with no endpoint URL, no q= injection, and no exfil sink

   Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat can search across your emails and files to summarize quarterly reports.

Known False Positive Contexts

• ▸A user legitimately sharing a normal M365 Copilot search link (m365.cloud.microsoft/search/?q=quarterly+report) that contains only a benign natural-language query with no injected instructions or image/exfil markup.
• ▸Documentation or a bug report quoting the m365.cloud.microsoft/search endpoint or Bing reverse-image-search URL without an attacker imgurl host carrying captured data.

  Detects the SearchLeak one-click exploitation associated with CVE-2026-47645
  (open redirect / elevation of privilege in Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat).
  An attacker delivers a link to the trusted m365.cloud.microsoft/search/ endpoint
  with attacker instructions packed into the q= parameter (parameter-to-prompt
  injection); Copilot acts with the victim's privileges and exfiltrates mailbox/file
  data through a Bing image-proxy SSRF sink (searchbyimage?cbir=sbi&imgurl=attacker).
  This rule keys on that specific endpoint+q-injection link and the Bing image-search
  exfiltration sink, not on bare Microsoft or Bing URLs.
