MFA Won't Save You From OAuth Consent Abuse

Summary

While Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a critical security layer, it does not inherently protect against OAuth consent abuse. Attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in OAuth implementations to gain unauthorized access to user data and resources, even when MFA is enabled. Effective mitigation requires comprehensive OAuth governance, strict adherence to least-privilege principles for scopes, continuous consent monitoring, and the ability to rapidly revoke compromised or suspicious access.
