I was able to access thousands of companies’ passwords on #Azure and run code on their VMs.
This includes access to Microsoft’s own credentials… 💣

Here’s HOW I did it.
This is the story of #SynLapse. (1/11) Looking at the Microsoft Azure bounty program, I noticed that “cross-tenant data leakage” in @azuresynapse is regarded as a high-impact scenario ❗️

The service queries data imported from customer sources (MySQL, CosmosDB, Amazon S3...)

How do you define a data source? (2/11)

I was able to access #Azure user credentials and run code on other customers’ machines.
The vulnerability is called #SynLapse.

It was a vulnerability in Azure Synapse Analytics (@Azure_Synapse) & Azure Data Factory, exploiting a major flaw in the tenant separation.

(1/3) Through access to an internal API server I was able to:
- Obtain access to other customers’ Synapse workspaces
- Perform API operations like adding/deleting resources
- Run code on their service machines
- Most importantly: leak all credentials they stored in the service.
