Control: Azure > CIS v3.0 > 02 - Identity > 02.02 - Conditional Access > 02.02.03 - Ensure that an exclusionary Device code flow policy is considered

Configures auditing against a CIS Benchmark item.

Level: 2

Conditional Access Policies can be used to prevent the Device code authentication flow. Device code flow should be permitted only for users that regularly perform duties that explicitly require the use of Device Code to authenticate, such as utilizing Azure with PowerShell.

Attackers use Device code flow in phishing attacks and, if successful, results in the attacker gaining access tokens and refresh tokens which are scoped to "user_impersonation", which can perform any action the user has permission to perform.
