On May 7, 2026, Microsoft disclosed and remediated three critical information disclosure vulnerabilities in Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Chat, tracked as CVE-2026-26129, CVE-2026-26164, and CVE-2026-33111. These vulnerabilities allowed unauthorized access to sensitive information, requiring no action from end users or administrators for remediation.

The recurring data-exposure risks in Copilot deployments raise compliance concerns for organizations using these tools. Microsoft has committed to transparency in addressing these vulnerabilities.
