Researchers warn that a permission associated with the Google Cloud Build service in Google Cloud can be easily abused by attackers with access to a regular account to elevate their privileges and potentially poison container images used in production environments. Google Cloud Build is a CI/CD platform that allows organizations and developers to execute code building tasks on Google Cloud in a variety of programming languages. The service supports importing source code from repositories and cloud storage locations, builds the code based on a configured specification, and produces artifacts such as container images that can be deployed directly into production environments.
