 Hello All, In this blog, we dive into the dark side of package files and Storage Account abuse within the Azure Function App service. We explore how package files can be leveraged to enhance the functionality of the Functions Apps, shedding light on the potential abuse of package files. By examining the connection between the Function App and Storage Account, we uncover how attackers can abuse the Storage Account's connection string to gain unauthorized access to the Function Apps. We will provide step-by-step insights into replacing binary files and deploying custom code, enabling attackers to take control of the Function App.  The research was jointly done by  Raunak and myself . What are Function Apps? Function Apps (Lambda in AWS) are serverless computing services provided by Azure Cloud. They allow developers to build and deploy small, functions that can be triggered by events such as simple HTTP request. Function Apps provide an environment for executing our code without th
