Authenticated privilege escalation with information disclosure
Published Jul 12, 2022 · Updated Jul 8, 2025
Privilege escalation in Azure Site Recovery before 9.49 allows remote authenticated users to gain unauthorized read access. Microsoft has not published the affected function or the operation that mishandles attacker-controlled input. The network path requires high-privilege credentials in an on-premises VMware/physical-to-Azure deployment, and the reported consequence is limited to replication capabilities rather than customer workloads or cross-tenant exposure.
