Download Domain Check

Description:

In this check we validate if the Download Domain feature was configured or not. This feature was introduced to address CVE-2021-1730.

If the feature is enabled, we validate if the URL configured to download attachments, is not set to the same as the internal or external Outlook Web App (OWA) url.

CVE-2021-1730 will not be addressed if the url configured to be used by the Download Domain feature points to the same url(s) which is/are used by OWA.

The Download Domain feature is available on Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2019.

More details and configuration instructions can be found in the Microsoft Learn article, that is linked in the additional resource section.
