AWS Security Tool Introduces Privilege Escalation Risk

AWS's Account Assessment for AWS Organizations tool, designed to audit cross-account access, inadvertently introduced privilege escalation risks due to flawed deployment instructions. Customers were encouraged to deploy the tool in lower-sensitivity accounts, creating risky trust paths from insecure environments into highly sensitive ones. This could allow attackers to pivot from compromised development accounts into production and management accounts.

Do Tigers Really Change Their Stripes?

Across the larger cybersecurity community, an often-used adage is that “threat actors always change their tactics.” However, when we really start to look at and track incident data, we begin to see that while some changes may be necessitated based on infrastructures and other challenges the threat actor may encounter, there are times when tactics remain consistent across incidents. Recent investigations into exploitation activity for CVE-2025-31151 and CVE-2025-30406 show similar TTPs across di…

Azure AZNFS-mount Utility Root Privilege Escalation

A critical vulnerability in AZNFS-mount utility, preinstalled on Azure HPC/AI images, allowed unprivileged users to escalate privileges to root on Linux machines.

AWS Default Roles Can Lead to Service Takeover

Research uncovered security flaws in default AWS service roles, granting overly broad permissions like full S3 access. This allows privilege escalation, cross-service access, and potential account compromise across services like SageMaker, Glue, and EMR. Attackers could exploit these roles to manipulate critical assets and move laterally within AWS environments. AWS has since updated default policies and documentation to mitigate risks.
