These flaws allow attackers to potentially bridge the gap between on-premises systems and cloud resources, effectively turning the management tool into a two-way attack surface. While Microsoft has released patches for the identified CVEs, the researchers emphasize the need for organizations to pay closer attention to the security of their hybrid cloud management planes. AI
