Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper token caching in the On-Behalf-Of flow. The advisory explicitly states the fix involved 'removing fallback cache look-up for On-Behalf-Of scenarios.' The primary function handling OBO token acquisition (AcquireTokenOnBehalfAsync) would be responsible for cache interactions. While exact code isn't available, ADAL's architecture and Microsoft's patch description strongly implicate the OBO token acquisition path and its cache management logic as the vulnerable component.
