DescriptionCVE.org

Server-side request forgery (ssrf) in Azure Virtual Machines allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

AnalysisAI

Server-side request forgery in Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines enables a low-privileged authenticated attacker to forge internal network requests, ultimately achieving privilege escalation with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact across a changed scope. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) confirms the vulnerability reaches beyond the Azure VM component itself, potentially compromising adjacent Azure services or internal metadata infrastructure. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to hold low-privilege authenticated access to the Azure environment (PR:L from CVSS vector), ruling out unauthenticated scenarios. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 8.5 (High) is driven primarily by the scope change (S:C) and the full CIA triad impact (C:H/I:H/A:H), which reflects the potential for lateral movement within Azure infrastructure. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation A vendor-released patch is available per the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-69543. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Azure Virtual Machines across your organization and coordinate with cloud infrastructure teams to map service criticality, user privilege levels, and potential lateral movement paths. …
