Rezonate Posts A Blog Detailing Github Misconfigurations That Can Lead To Account Takeovers

Researchers at Rezonate have taken a deep dive into misconfigurations of GitHub integration with cloud native vendors and unsurprisingly found many critical misconfigurations, leaving connected AWS/GCP accounts vulnerable to potential takeover attacks. 

In a blog post on this research to be published this week, the team will:

  • Introduce their misconfiguration research process
  • Explain the OIDC implementation process that GitHub uses to authenticate to the cloud
  • Present the misconfigurations they identified across various organizations
  • Provide a step-by-step guide for discovering and fixing the problem(s)
  • Propose how to avoid the issue completely

The research team is also providing, for the general public, a script to their GitHub repository, which performs a quick scan against the AWS account or GCP project and reveals possible vulnerable roles and service accounts.

The blog will appear on their blog page here and it is worth a read: https://itnerd.blog/2023/05/17/rezonate-posts-a-blog-detailing-github-misconfigurations-that-can-lead-to-account-takeovers/
