|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCC.VM.TH09 | Misconfigured Vertical Scaling Leads to Privilege Escalation | Inadequate permissions or automation logic in vertical scaling processes may allow unauthorized resource escalation, such as adding CPUs or memory. This can result in elevated access rights, increased computational capacity for unintended actions, or unplanned cost increases, potentially affecting system security and operational control. | 1 | 1 | 0 |
