Azure Admin Permissions On Keys

Description

Detects Azure Key Vaults that have access policies granting full administrative permissions on cryptographic keys. Having users with unrestricted key management capabilities poses a security risk as it could lead to key compromise or misuse.

Weakness:

446 - Insecure service configuration - Azure

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Identifies Key Vaults that are not using Azure RBAC for access control (RBAC authorization disabled)

    Examines each access policy configured on the Key Vault

    Reports a vulnerability when an access policy grants all possible permissions for key operations

    Triggers only when a policy has complete control over keys, including critical operations like backup, delete, get, import, purge, recover, restore, and sign
