services / Azure / Bastion Host

Azure Bastion is a managed PaaS jump host deployed in a VNet that brokers secure browser-based RDP/SSH connectivity to VMs without exposing public IPs on those VMs.

A production secure-access entry point into a private network; controlling or observing it affects reachability of all VMs behind it.

Microsoft.​Network/​BastionHosts/​delete

Removes legitimate secure remote-access infrastructure, cutting off browser-based RDP/SSH access to VMs behind it; lower severity than the session/link risks on this resource since it degrades availability rather than granting access.

Risks

1. Denial-of-service (HIGH)
2. Infrastructure destruction (HIGH)

Scope: HIGH

This privilege may grant access to sensitive data from a single organizational function, or allow interruption of a service supporting a single organizational function.
