Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a black-box assessment of a SaaS provider, you discover that virtual-machine disk images are stored in an object-storage bucket that grants READ access to the "Authenticated Users" group. Which cloud-computing threat does this misconfiguration mainly create, and what is the most likely impact on other tenants who use the same platform?

  • An insecure API threat that could let attackers steal service keys and hijack tenant accounts.

  • A denial-of-service threat in which unrestricted downloads saturate the provider's egress bandwidth, slowing other tenants.

  • A data-breach threat from overly permissive storage ACLs that lets any authenticated cloud user download all tenants' VM images.

  • A hypervisor-escape threat allowing one tenant's VM to execute code on the host and control neighboring VMs.
