cloudbuild

For more information about Cloud Build check:

GCP - Cloud Build Enum

cloudbuild.builds.create

With this permission you can submit a cloud build. The cloudbuild machine will have in it’s filesystem by default a token of the cloudbuild Service Account: <PROJECT_NUMBER>@cloudbuild.gserviceaccount.com. However, you can indicate any service account inside the project in the cloudbuild configuration. Therefore, you can just make the machine exfiltrate to your server the token or get a reverse shell inside of it and get yourself the token (the file containing the token might change).

You can find the original exploit script here on GitHub (but the location it's taking the token from didn't work for me). Therefore, check a script to automate the creation, exploit and cleaning of a vuln environment here and a python script to get a reverse shell inside the cloudbuild machine and steal it here (in the code you can find how to specify other service accounts).

For a more in-depth explanation, visit https://rhinosecuritylabs.com/gcp/iam-privilege-escalation-gcp-cloudbuild/

cloudbuild.builds.update

Potentially with this permission you will be able to update a cloud build and just steal the service account token like it was performed with the previous permission (but unfortunately at the time of this writing I couldn't find any way to call that API).

TODO

     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{}' \
     "https://cloudbuild.googleapis.com/v2/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/locations/<LOCATION>/connections/<CONN_ID>/repositories/<repo-id>:accessReadToken"

cloudbuild.repositories.accessReadWriteToken

With this permission the user can get the read and write access token used to access the repository:

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{}' \
     "https://cloudbuild.googleapis.com/v2/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/locations/<LOCATION>/connections/<CONN_ID>/repositories/<repo-id>:accessReadWriteToken"

cloudbuild.connections.fetchLinkableRepositories

With this permission you can get the repos the connection has access to:

curl -X GET \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     "https://cloudbuild.googleapis.com/v2/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/locations/<LOCATION>/connections/<CONN_ID>:fetchLinkableRepositories"
