Published Nov 9, 2022 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
Privilege escalation in Microsoft Azure CycleCloud 7.0 through 7.9.10 and 8.0.0 through 8.2.x allows remote attackers to gain privileges. Microsoft has not published the affected component or the incorrect operation responsible for the privilege escalation. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access, no prior authentication, and high-complexity conditions.
