Unfortunately @orcasec got their terminology wrong in their report by calling the cloud build SA , a ‘Default SA’, then I PERPETUATED it! - apologies. There are only 2 default SAs. The compute and app engine SA. The Cloud Build SA is not a default SA, it is a P4 SA. 1/3
Replying to @NightmareJS
The "bad.build" in question is the Default Cloud Build Service Account (SA), so what is it? It runs build for you, pulls images, injects secrets and "actsas" the SA which any resulting resource (i.e. Cloud Run) ultimately runs as. They are unique per project. 2/8

One final @fwdcloudsec appreciation post: It was legitimately the best con I have ever attended. Hands down. Gathering some of the brightest minds in the cloud security community for two days of AMAZING talks. I had never been in person before and now I will never miss it.

New cloud security research! We found a method to bypass CloudTrail logging for both read AND write API actions in AWS Service Catalog! In addition, we also reported an issue with a lack of CloudTrail logging in AWS Control Tower. securitylabs.datadoghq.com/a…
