I'd double check whether a denial of service is out of scope, it often is.
Additionally, I'm not intimately familiar with Redshift, but being able to create a table suggests the attacker would already need a fairly high privilege level to begin with, no? If there are other ways to invoke denial of service conditions from that existing privilege level, this finding may be somewhat moot out of redundancy, similar to how a submission for "a root user with the ability to execute arbitrary commands can cause a denial of service condition in XYZ" would be moot - XYZ is not needed for an adversary with those perms to cause a DoS.
- Max-Ganz-II 2y agoBeing able to create a table and issue a query means being a normal user on the cluster - so you have an account and can log in. It's enough to issue `CREATE USER [blah] PASSWORD [pwd];`, which is the minimum create user command. So we're looking at malicious or disgruntled employees, and also normal queries where users do not realize what they're doing will kill the cluster.
