GCP Default compute account is project Editor
When the compute API is enabled on a GCP Project, the default compute account is created. This account gets the primitive role Editor assigned by default, which allows for a wide variety of privilege excalation and resource abuse in the project. Especially, all new VMs created inherit this permissions by default. This issue is arguably a technical decision by GCP, but the documents advise customers to undo this.
