1.12 Ensure 'User consent for applications' Is Set To 'Allow for Verified Publishers'

Information

Allow users to provide consent for selected permissions when a request is coming from a verified publisher.

Rationale:

If Azure Active Directory is running as an identity provider for third-party applications, permissions and consent should be limited to administrators or pre-approved. Malicious applications may attempt to exfiltrate data or abuse privileged user accounts.

Impact:

Enforcing this setting may create additional requests that administrators need to review.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
