The ImageRunner vulnerability identified by Tenable in Google Cloud could have allowed attackers to bypass permissions and access sensitive images within GCP deployments. It was particularly dangerous due to the way Cloud Run performs image pulls during the deployment process, leveraging a service agent with elevated permissions. This issue was quickly addressed, preventing potential unauthorized access before it could be exploited, underscoring the importance of vigilance in cloud security practices.
A critical privilege escalation vulnerability affecting Google Cloud, called ImageRunner, was quickly addressed to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability, identified by Tenable, could have permitted attackers to bypass permissions and access container images potentially compromising GCP deployments.
This issue occurs because Cloud Run pulls images during deployment. The use of a service agent with elevated permissions was a significant risk factor.
Tenable highlighted that the service agent, responsible for managing deployments in Cloud Run, has the necessary permissions to retrieve images from trusted registries.
