The weakness is classified as CWE‑749, which addresses the improper use of dangerous functions that can be abused for malicious purposes.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Microsoft Azure Confidential Ledger. No specific product versions are listed in the advisory, so all deployments of Azure Confidential Ledger may be at risk until a fix is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.1 indicates a high severity for this RCE in a remote context.
