Details
| Severity | Base Score | CVE |
|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | 9.6 | CVE-2026-35428 |
Exploitation
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have network access and can perform actions that involve user interaction. By injecting malicious commands into the Azure Cloud Shell, the attacker can manipulate the system’s behavior, leading to unauthorized actions and potential data breaches. The low attack complexity means that even less experienced attackers could potentially exploit this flaw if they can trick users into executing the malicious commands.
Affected Products
- Azure Cloud Shell: A web-based shell that allows users to manage Azure resources through command-line interface.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, users should ensure that they are using the latest version of Azure Cloud Shell and follow best practices for command execution. Implementing strict access controls and monitoring network traffic can help detect and prevent unauthorized command injections. Additionally, educating users about the risks of executing untrusted commands can reduce the likelihood of exploitation.
