CVE-2024-43602Network attack vector

Authenticated root command execution via disclosed storage credentials

Published Nov 12, 2024 · Updated Jul 8, 2025

Improper authorization in Microsoft Azure CycleCloud before 8.6.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands with root privileges. The CycleCloud server discloses storage credentials that an authenticated user can reuse to bypass authorization, but Microsoft has not identified the responsible endpoint or operation. Successful exploitation crosses the application boundary and grants root-level command execution on the server.
