API Reference — Detecting Suspicious OAuth Application Consent

Libraries Used

  • msal: Microsoft Authentication Library — client credentials flow for Microsoft Graph
  • requests: HTTP client for Graph API calls with pagination

CLI Interface

python agent.py --tenant-id TENANT --client-id CLIENT --client-secret SECRET grants
python agent.py --tenant-id TENANT --client-id CLIENT --client-secret SECRET apps
python agent.py --tenant-id TENANT --client-id CLIENT --client-secret SECRET audit-logs
python agent.py --tenant-id TENANT --client-id CLIENT --client-secret SECRET full --days 30

Core Functions

get_access_token(tenant_id, client_id, client_secret) — MSAL client credentials auth

Uses ConfidentialClientApplication.acquire_token_for_client() with scope https://graph.microsoft.com/.default to obtain a bearer token.

graph_get(token, endpoint, params) — Paginated Graph API GET

Handles @odata.nextLink pagination. Returns aggregated value array.

enumerate_oauth_grants(token) — List delegated permission grants

Calls GET /oauth2PermissionGrants. Parses scope strings, flags high-risk scopes.

list_service_principals(token) — Enumerate apps with verification status

Calls GET /servicePrincipals?$top=999. Checks verifiedPublisher field.

Calls GET /auditLogs/directoryAudits filtered by activityDisplayName eq 'Consent to application'. Returns user principal, IP, target app, and result.

analyze_risk(grants, service_principals) — Risk scoring engine

Scoring: +15 per high-risk scope, +25 for unverified publisher, +20 for AllPrincipals consent. Levels: CRITICAL >= 70, HIGH >= 50, MEDIUM >= 25, LOW < 25.

Microsoft Graph Endpoints

Endpoint Method Required Permission
/oauth2PermissionGrants GET Directory.Read.All
/servicePrincipals GET Application.Read.All
/auditLogs/directoryAudits GET AuditLog.Read.All

High-Risk OAuth Scopes

Mail.Read, Mail.ReadWrite, Mail.Send, Files.ReadWrite.All, Files.Read.All, User.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Contacts.ReadWrite, MailboxSettings.ReadWrite, People.Read.All, Calendars.ReadWrite, Notes.ReadWrite.All

Risk Scoring

Factor Points
Each high-risk scope +15
Unverified publisher +25
Admin consent (AllPrincipals) +20

Dependencies

  • msal >= 1.24.0
  • requests >= 2.28.0
  • Azure AD app registration with Application.Read.All, AuditLog.Read.All, Directory.Read.All
