Privilege escalation via undisclosed vectors
Published Jul 12, 2022 · Updated Jul 8, 2025
Elevation of privilege in Microsoft Azure Site Recovery before 9.49 allows remote authenticated users to gain elevated privileges via unspecified vectors. Microsoft has not published the affected component or the operation that mishandles attacker-controlled input for this CVE. Exploitation requires compromised administrative credentials for an ASR-protected VM in an on-premises VMware/physical-to-Azure deployment, and customer workloads and cross-tenant data are unaffected.
