Black Hat 2021: How isolated is your AWS cloud environment?

Wiz Research identified three vulnerabilities in AWS services that permitted cross-account access, potentially allowing unauthorized reading or writing to other customers' accounts. The researchers discovered these issues while analyzing AWS services that support multi-account access to determine isolation gaps.

Why it matters: AWS customers face potential data exposure and unauthorized modification risks if these vulnerabilities are exploited; practitioners should verify patching status and review cross-account access policies.
