Microsoft has revealed that thousands of Azure Cosmos DB database users may need to update their security protections after a serious flaw was discovered.
Cosmos DB is Microsoft’s database service that runs atop its Azure cloud computing platform, and is used by various Fortune 500 companies all around the world.
Cybersecurity researchers from cloud infrastructure security company Wiz discovered a series of flaws in one of the features of the database service, which could be exploited by threat actors to gain complete control over a database, meaning they could read or even delete data.
