Shadow AI: how to discover, govern, and secure AI apps

OAuth abuse
70 posts
OAuth abuse is attackers exploiting app-to-app authorization — consent phishing, malicious OAuth apps, stolen tokens, and device code flows — to gain persistent access to cloud tenants without touching a password or MFA prompt. Push tracks these techniques continuously and discovered ConsentFix, a browser-native attack in the wild that pairs OAuth consent phishing with a ClickFix-style prompt.
We coined the poisoned tenant attack in 2023; in 2026, someone used it on us
Someone created a fake OpenAI organization using our company's name and invited specific Push employees to join it. Here's what we learned.
