The Risk of Exposed Cloud Functions and How to Harden
Mandiant security assessments identify publicly exposed serverless applications and functions lacking authentication that frequently contain vulnerabilities in custom code or third-party packages. Successful exploitation of application-level flaws like local file inclusion or command injection can grant attackers remote code execution and container-level access, which may lead to lateral movement and cloud environment compromise. The article describes attack scenarios and hardening strategies for securing serverless deployments that must remain publicly accessible.
Why it matters: Security teams managing publicly exposed serverless functions on Google Cloud Run or other platforms face immediate risk of initial compromise and cloud environment takeover if vulnerabilities in application code and metadata server access remain unmitigated.
