Phreaking 2.0 - Abusing Microsoft Teams Direct Routing

Presented at DEF CON 30 (2022), Aug. 12, 2022, 2 p.m. (20 minutes)

Microsoft Teams offers the possibility to integrate your own communication infrastructure, e.g. your own SIP provider for phone services. This requires a Microsoft-certified and -approved Session Border Controller. During the security analysis of this federation, Moritz Abrell identified several vulnerabilities that allow an external, unauthenticated attacker to perform toll fraud.

This talk is a summary of this analysis, the identified security issues and the practical exploitation as well as the manufacturer's capitulation to the final fix of the vulnerabilities.
