#Azure CycleCloud

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker with basic user permissions can send specially crafted requests to modify the configuration of an Azure CycleCloud cluster to gain Root level permissions enabling them to execute commands on any Azure CycleCloud cluster in the current instance and in some scenarios, compromise administrator credentials.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with permissions to execute commands on the Azure CycleCloud instance could send a specially crafted request that returns the storage account credentials and runtime data. The attacker can then use the comprised credentials to access the underlying storage resources and upload malicious scripts which will be executed as Root, enabling remote code execution to be performed on any cluster in the CycleCloud instance.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** The attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could elevate privileges to the Administrator role in the vulnerable Azure CycleCloud instance.
