Tenant Impersonation: Attackers gaining access to another tenant's context or resources. Broken Tenant Isolation: Insufficient separation at database, cache, storage, or compute layers. Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR): Accessing resources by manipulating tenant/resource IDs. Noisy Neighbor Attacks: One tenant exhausting shared resources, impacting others (DoS). Privilege Escalation Across Tenants: Exploiting admin functions to access other tenants. Tenant Context Injection: Manipulating tenant identifiers in requests, tokens, or headers. Shared Resource Poisoning: Cache poisoning, queue injection, or storage pollution affecting other tenants. Insecure Tenant Onboarding/Offboarding: Incomplete provisioning or data retention after deletion. Audit & Compliance Gaps: Insufficient tenant-specific logging for regulatory requirements.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from OWASP Cheat Sheet Series under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
