Code to Cloud Attacks: From Github PAT to Cloud Control Plane
Attackers are exploiting compromised GitHub Personal Access Tokens (PATs) from employees to gain unauthorized access to cloud environments and control planes. This attack chain bridges code repositories to cloud infrastructure by leveraging the permissions granted to developer credentials. The technique demonstrates how initial access through development tools can escalate to cloud resource compromise.
Why it matters: Development teams and cloud infrastructure owners need to monitor for unauthorized token usage and implement least-privilege access controls on PATs, as compromised developer credentials create a direct path to cloud control plane access.
