Potential Azure Browser SSO Abuse

 Original Source: [Sigma source]
Title: Potential Azure Browser SSO Abuse
Status: test
Description:Detects abusing Azure Browser SSO by requesting OAuth 2.0 refresh tokens for an Azure-AD-authenticated Windows user (i.e. the machine is joined to Azure AD and a user logs in with their Azure AD account) wanting to perform SSO authentication in the browser. An attacker can use this to authenticate to Azure AD in a browser as that user.
