An information disclosure vulnerability manifests when a user or an application uploads unprotected private key data as part of an authentication certificate <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/keycredential?view=graph-rest-1.0">keyCredential</a>  on an Azure AD <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/app-objects-and-service-principals">Application or Service Principal</a> (which is not recommended). This vulnerability allows a user or service in the tenant with application read access to read the private key data that was added to the application. Azure AD addressed this vulnerability by preventing disclosure of any private key values added to the application.
