Frequently Asked Questions

How does Azure's distributed architecture make rate limiting bypass more challenging?
Azure's global distribution means requests can be routed through different data centers and regions. Without proper distributed rate limiting using services like Azure Cache for Redis or Cosmos DB, attackers can exploit this by sending requests from different geographic locations, bypassing regional rate limits. Implementing centralized rate limiting with consistent counters across all instances is essential.
Can middleBrick detect rate limiting bypass vulnerabilities in Azure Functions?
Yes, middleBrick's black-box scanning can identify rate limiting bypass vulnerabilities in Azure Functions by testing concurrency limits, examining function app settings, and checking for missing rate limiting policies. The scanner tests multiple requests simultaneously to identify if the default concurrency settings (which allow multiple parallel executions) can be exploited to bypass rate limits.
