GCP Cross Account Activity

• GCP Detect accounts with high risk roles by project :
  threat GCP Account risk_score:25 2024-10-17 version:3
  This search provides detection of accounts with high risk roles by projects. Compromised accounts with high risk roles can move laterally or even scalate privileges at different projects depending on organization schema.


• GCP Detect high risk permissions by resource and account :
  threat GCP Account risk_score:25 2024-10-17 version:3
  This search provides detection of high risk permissions by resource and accounts. These are permissions that can allow attackers with compromised accounts to move laterally and escalate privileges.


• GCP Detect gcploit framework :
  threat GCP Account risk_score:25 2024-10-17 version:3
  The following analytic identifies the use of the GCPloit exploitation framework within Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It detects specific GCP Pub/Sub messages with a function timeout of 539 seconds, which is indicative of GCPloit activity. This detection is significant as GCPloit can be used to escalate privileges and facilitate lateral movement from compromised high-privilege accounts. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access, escalate their privileges, and move laterally within the GCP environment, potentially compromising sensitive data and critical resources.


• gcp detect oauth token abuse :
  threat GCP Account risk_score:25 2024-10-17 version:3
  This search provides detection of possible GCP Oauth token abuse. GCP Oauth token without time limit can be exfiltrated and reused for keeping access sessions alive without further control of authentication, allowing attackers to access and move laterally.
