What it is about

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ist eine Sammlung von Cloud-Computing-Diensten von Google, die Infrastruktur, Datenanalyse, maschinelles Lernen und Entwicklungstools bietet. Unternehmen können dadurch Anwendungen in der Cloud zu aufbauen und skalierbar bereitzustellen. Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Google Cloud Platform ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network, but only with valid access (login required), for example with stolen credentials or as an insider.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen
  • Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen
  • Daten zu manipulieren
  • vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen

Am I affected?
