Which of the following cloud computing threats arises from authentication vulnerabilities, user-provisioning and de-provisioning vulnerabilities, hypervisor vulnerabilities, unclear roles and responsibilities, and misconfigurations?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The cloud computing threat described in the question arises from various vulnerabilities and misconfigurations related to authentication, user provisioning, hypervisors, and roles.Privilege escalationoccurs when an attacker gains more privileges than initially acquired. In this context, it refers to unauthorized elevation of access rights within a cloud environment.The mentioned vulnerabilities contribute to this risk, allowing an attacker to escalate their privileges beyond what is intended.Reference: EC-Council Certified Security Specialist (E|CSS) documents and study guide12.

I’m not confident, but I feel like misconfigurations could lead to privilege escalation. It’s tricky because all the options seem plausible in different contexts.

I’m leaning towards isolation failure too, but I keep second-guessing myself. The hypervisor vulnerabilities make me think it’s definitely related to how resources are managed.

Okay, I've got this. The vulnerabilities described point to issues with authentication, user management, and configuration - which would lead to a privilege escalation threat. I'm confident that's the right answer.
