Azure Storage Misconfiguration Scanner
Identifies Azure Blob storage with public access.
What is Azure Storage Misconfiguration?
Azure Storage Misconfiguration testing identifies dangerous access settings on blob containers and storage accounts: anonymous access enabled, overly permissive SAS tokens, disabled encryption, and misconfigured network rules. Azure storage misconfigurations expose data similarly to S3.
Why is This Important?
Azure Blob storage misconfigurations have caused significant data breaches. Anonymous access means anyone can download data. Long-lived SAS tokens with excessive permissions become permanent backdoors. Like S3, ease of configuration leads to common mistakes.
How It Works
1. Cloud Asset Discovery
Inventories cloud resources across AWS, Azure, and GCP including storage, compute, IAM, and networking.
2. Configuration Audit
Analyzes cloud configurations against CIS benchmarks and security best practices for misconfigurations.
3. Risk Prioritization
Prioritizes findings by exploitability and business impact with cloud-native remediation steps.

- Infrastructure-as-code security scanning
Frequently Asked Questions
What Azure storage misconfigurations exist?
Check for: anonymous access on containers (Blob/Container public access level), SAS tokens with excessive permissions or no expiry, storage account network rules allowing all networks, disabled encryption, missing soft delete, and shared key access when not needed.
What's unique about Azure storage security?
Azure-specific: storage account vs. container level settings, SAS token patterns (service, account, user delegation), Azure AD vs. shared key authentication, private endpoints for network isolation, and immutable storage for compliance.
How are SAS tokens commonly misconfigured?
SAS token issues: permissions exceeding requirements, no expiry or far-future expiry, account-level SAS when service-level would suffice, tokens stored in source code, not using stored access policies for revocation, and user delegation SAS not rotated.
How do I secure Azure storage?
Security: disable anonymous access at storage account level, use Azure AD authentication, implement private endpoints, use SAS with minimal permissions and short expiry, enable soft delete and versioning, monitor with Storage Analytics, and use Azure Policy for enforcement.
