Consent phishing relies on the OAuth 2.0 authorization protocol, which enables users to grant applications access to their resources without divulging their passwords. Attackers exploit this process by registering malicious applications with OAuth 2.0 providers, tricking users into believing they are authentic and trustworthy. Through social engineering tactics, attackers persuade users to click on phishing emails or links, leading them to grant excessive permissions to the malicious application.
The process of a consent phishing attack typically involves several steps:
Examples of Consent Phishing
In each of these examples, attackers exploit users' trust and familiarity with common online interactions to deceive them into granting excessive permissions to malicious applications. By disguising their intentions behind seemingly legitimate emails and permission requests, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive data and compromise user accounts with ease.
Consent phishing poses a significant threat to email security, as it allows attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive email accounts. By exploiting users' trust in seemingly legitimate applications and permission requests, attackers can bypass traditional email security measures and access confidential information.
