Microsoft launches Developer Proxy tool to help developers reduce the risk of over-authorization

News on July 1st, Microsoft recently released a command line tool called Developer Proxy, which is designed to help developers test the HTTP of software API calling behavior avoids the problem of excessive permission requests to reduce the risk of user information leakage.

The Developer Proxy tool is able to capture a series of Microsoft Graph messages emitted by the application API requests, and automatically detects the number of APIs required by the application. By performing permission comparison work locally, user data will not be uploaded to the outside world, ensuring the security of user data.

According to the editor’s understanding, when Developer When the Proxy tool detects that an application has more permissions than actually required, it will issue a corresponding warning to the developer. Developers can adjust the software based on warning messages to ensure that only necessary permissions are requested and to minimize the risk of potential information leakage.

However, the developer's own decisions will still determine which permissions are included in the software released to users. Developers should comprehensively consider software functions and user privacy protection needs to ensure that users’ information security and privacy are protected while optimizing the application experience.

Microsoft Developer Proxy tools provide developers with a convenient and effective way to help them avoid over-authorization problems during software development and improve the security of user data. This will help build more reliable and secure applications, improve user experience, and protect users' personal information from potential leaks.
