This report explores vulnerability management in cloud environments, emphasizing that not all vulnerabilities are equally relevant due to differences in cloud architectures, technologies, and attack surfaces. It explains that cloud environments require prioritization based on factors such as exposure, exploitability, and the presence of sensitive data or credentials, rather than relying solely on severity scores like CVSS. The report highlights that attackers often target publicly exposed workloads to extract credentials and move laterally, making information disclosure vulnerabilities particularly dangerous. It also stresses the importance of focusing on prevalent technologies and real-world attack paths when triaging risks. The key takeaway is that effective vulnerability management in t
