The cloud gray zone-secret agents installed by cloud service providers

Wiz Research presented findings at RSA Conference 2022 examining how cloud middleware deployed by cloud service providers can create security vulnerabilities in customer virtual machines. The research builds on previous OMIGOD findings, highlighting new attack vectors that emerge from the use of middleware across cloud infrastructures.

Why it matters: Cloud customers and practitioners need to understand how provider-installed middleware can become an attack surface; this affects workload security posture and requires review of installed agents and their permissions.
