Microsoft Azure Flaws Could Have Let Hackers Take Over Cloud Servers

Researchers at Check Point disclosed details of two potentially dangerous vulnerabilities in Microsoft Azure services. If exploited, the issue would have enabled a remote hacker to unauthorizedly access screenshots and sensitive information of any virtual machine running on Azure infrastructure. The second issue (CVE-2019-1372) is a remote code execution flaw that affected the Azure App Service on Azure Stack, which would have allowed a hacker to take complete control over the entire Azure server. Check Point researcher Ronen Shustin, who discovered both vulnerabilities, responsibly reported the issues to Microsoft last year, preventing hackers from causing severe damage and chaos.
