Azure Storage Utility Vulnerability Allows Privilege Escalation to Root Access

Post by Shane1145 »

A critical vulnerability discovered by Varonis Threat Labs has exposed users of Microsoft Azure’s AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) workloads to a potential privilege escalation attack.

The flaw, found in a utility pre-installed on select Azure Linux virtual machines, made it possible for an unprivileged local user to gain root access-a severe breach of the principle of least privilege.
