Description

I’m seeing many Azure findings consistently showing as UNKNOWN even after applying all required Storage and Key Vault permissions.

This is not an IAM issue. Based on verification:

- The Storage Accounts do not have File/Queue/Table services enabled, but CloudSploit still marks ACL-related checks as UNKNOWN instead of FAIL.
-
- The Key Vaults are using RBAC authorisation and contain no keys/secrets/certificates with expiry, causing checks like keyExpirationEnabled, secretExpirationEnabled, rsaCertificateKeySize, and keyVaultKeyExpiryNonRbac to always return UNKNOWN.

The results do not change.

This looks like a CloudSploit evaluation logic issue, not a permissions gap.

Please confirm if these checks should return FAIL when the underlying Azure service/config isn’t present or when the vault uses RBAC mode.

Research direction

Start by locating the Azure evaluation entry points for the ACL-related checks and the named Key Vault checks: keyExpirationEnabled, secretExpirationEnabled, rsaCertificateKeySize, and keyVaultKeyExpiryNonRbac. Reproduce the UNKNOWN results with absent Storage services and RBAC-authorized vaults, then determine whether those cases should be reported as FAIL and verify the resulting findings.
