Local privilege escalation via undisclosed mechanism
Published Aug 12, 2021 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
Elevation of privilege in Microsoft Azure CycleCloud before 7.9.19 or 8.2.0 allows local users to gain elevated privileges. Microsoft has not published the affected component or the operation that mishandles attacker-controlled input. A low-privileged account on the CycleCloud host is required, and successful exploitation grants control at a higher privilege level.
