  Executive Summary AWSDoor is a stealthy backdoor malware designed to exploit cloud-native environments, particularly targeting Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructures. By masquerading as legitimate AWS service processes and abusing misconfigured Identity & Access Management (IAM) policies, AWSDoor establishes persistence, exfiltrates sensitive data, and enables long-term command-and-control (C2) inside cloud ecosystems. Unlike traditional backdoors, AWSDoor is cloud-native first — built to exploit AWS-specific APIs, Lambda functions, EC2 instances, and container workloads. This makes it a serious threat for enterprises migrating workloads into the cloud.  Technical Analysis 1.
