Azure Blob Permissions Modification

edit

Identifies when the Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) permissions are modified for an Azure Blob. An adversary may modify the permissions on a blob to weaken their target’s security controls or an administrator may inadvertently modify the permissions, which could lead to data exposure or loss.
