During a Shared Technology Vulnerability threat, an attacker exploits the weaknesses of tools used to enable multi-tenancy. Multi-tenancy allows multiple customers to share the same applications or physical infrastructure while keeping their data isolated. However, if there are vulnerabilities in the tools that support this shared environment, attackers can exploit these weaknesses to gain unauthorized access to data or disrupt services.
