services / Azure / Cosmos DB SQL role definition

A Cosmos DB native (SQL API) data-plane RBAC role definition specifying a set of data actions and assignable scopes within a database account.

Access-control policy governing data-plane access to a production database; reading/altering these definitions affects who can read and write the account's data.

Creating or updating a SQL role definition lets an attacker inject arbitrary data-plane permissions, escalating the access of every principal bound to that role within the database account.

Risks

1. Privilege escalation (CRITICAL)

Scope: CRITICAL
