IDTitleDescription
CCC.Monitor.TH10Monitoring Scope Exposes Telemetry Across AccountsA cross-account monitoring scope may be configured to link more accounts, subscriptions, or projects than intended, or the central monitoring account may be granted to users who are not authorized in the linked accounts. Users of the scope can then read metrics, traces, and alert state for every linked account without holding access in those accounts. This impacts the confidentiality of telemetry across tenancy boundaries.
CCC.Core.TH19Metrics are Read by Unauthorized EntitiesUnauthorized access to runtime metrics may expose valuable information about the system's design, performance, and usage patterns. This can support the planning of attacks on the service, system, or network.
