IAM privilege escalation in multiple GCP services
Composer, Dataflow, Dataproc, Dataprep and Data Fusion all used the Compute Engine default service account by default and relied on product-level IAM permissions without requiring the iam.serviceAccount.actAs permission, meaning that users of these services could elevate their privileges. Following disclosure, GCP changed these services to require this permission.
