'Confused Deputy' Flaws Persist in Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure

Confused Deputy vulnerabilities, which enable attackers to escalate to administrative privileges and circumvent access controls, continue to affect Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure platforms. These flaws allow threat actors to exploit cross-service authentication mechanisms to gain unauthorized elevated access.

Why it matters: Cloud platform users and security teams need to audit their cross-account trust policies and service permissions immediately, as these vulnerabilities can lead to complete account compromise and lateral movement across cloud environments.
