The essentials: Authenticated attackers can escalate their privileges in Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Dataform, Colab Enterprise).
A vulnerability in BigQuery, Dataform and Colab Enterprise allows authenticated users to escalate their permissions within Google Cloud Platform.
A vulnerability exists in the Google Cloud services BigQuery, Dataform and Colab Enterprise that allows authenticated attackers to elevate their access privileges. The gap thus affects core data processing and analytics platforms in the Google Cloud ecosystem.
For CISOs, this represents an immediate risk to all cloud workloads based on these services. Successful exploitation could grant attackers access to sensitive data and further cloud resources without requiring external compromise. The attack potential is heightened because the vulnerability requires only authentication – a condition that is routinely met in many organizations.
It is necessary to promptly check whether the affected services are used in your own Google Cloud infrastructure and to implement available security updates. CERT-Bund provides details under WID-SEC-2026-2297.
