Synapse Analytics privilege escalation via intelligent caching

Tenable Research discovered a privilege escalation flaw that allows a user to escalate privileges to that of the root user within the context of a Spark VM. This escalation was achieved because of a permissions issue with scripts utilized by the intelligent caching service (AKA "Vegas") present in the environment.
