Certain API endpoints on ml.azure.com and ai.azure.com used for adding/viewing data connections could be leveraged for server side request forgeries (SSRF). While they do have protections to restrict making requests to internal hosts, it was possible to circumvent those protections using a 301 or 302 redirect response which points to a sensitive host.
Cloud Audit Logs do not capture actions mediated through the cloud console private API service (cloudconsole-pa). Consequently, there is no logging of HMAC key creation or deletion linked to user accounts. This absence of logs hampers defenders' ability to alert or monitor the creation of HMAC keys for user accounts, posing a persistence risk, or their deletion, presenting a denial of service risk.
GCP administrators face challenges in managing HMAC keys within their organizations, lacking visibility into which user accounts have generated these keys and whether they are actively being used to access storage objects. Additionally, there's a lack of functionality to revoke keys associated with other users, restricting their ability to enforce security policies effectively. Similarly, GCP incident response teams rely on Cloud Logging to monitor Cloud Storage object access, but they lack spe…
