New Vulnerabilities Highlight Risks of Trust in Public Cloud

Amazon Web Services has closed two vulnerabilities in its core services. One of which could have allowed any user to access and take control of any company’s infrastructure. Another vulnerability in the CloudFormation service allowed the researchers to compromise a CF server and run as an AWS infrastructure service.
