Microsoft rejects critical Azure vulnerability report, no CVE issued (bleepingcomputer.com)

Not that I'm an Azure expert, or trust Microsoft to tell the truth...but any privilege with "backup" in its name strikes me as security-critical.

Any experts care to comment?

I'm the researcher. You've nailed it — Backup Contributor automatically granted cluster-admin via Trusted Access, no K8s permissions required. Microsoft called it "expected behavior," then silently patched it.
