Balancing the Scales of Cybersecurity and Insurance
As the importance of cybersecurity insurance grows, we examine how insurance policies have influenced cybersecurity stacks and visa versa.

By misusing the Apiary web service and taking advantage of Apiary's use of IMDSv1, a remote attacker is able to retrieve sensitive information from various endpoints and use it to gain more access and sensitive data of other hosts in the same environment.
Weak points in modern-day corporate email security
When customers attach a CodeBuild project to their VPC, CodeBuild’s build container will apply the same network routing rules as defined in the customer’s VPC Security Group. However, CodeBuild EC2 hosts retained Internet connectivity via AWS's own VPC, thus allowing an attacker to bypass any custom VPC rules the customer had set up, and use CodeBuild for data exfiltration from the targeted environment. AWS later updated the CodeBuild service to block all outbound network access for newly creat…

Use of the AI services on AWS allows customer data to be moved outside of the regions it is used in and potentially shared with third-parties. Note: This issue is outside the scope of this database's usual criteria for inclusion, but has been kept for historic reasons, as it was included in the original CSP Security Mistakes dataset.
We recap some of the cybersecurity trends and events in 2021 to prepare for the new year.
A vulnerability in Google Cloud Platform's Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) allowed attackers to bypass authentication and access IAP-secured web applications. The exploit involved creating a malicious IAP-secured app using the target's OAuth client ID, configuring query parameter-based routing to capture redirect tokens, and using these tokens to hijack authorized sessions.
Dataflow worker nodes ran an unauthenticated Java Management Extensions (JMX) service that under certain circumstances would be exposed to the Internet, thus allowing unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) as root in an unprivileged container. The impact of the vulnerability depended on which service account qA assigned to Dataflow worker nodes (by default, that would be the Google Compute Engine default service account, which has the project-wide Editor role assigned).
A vulnerability was discovered in Cloud Shell that enabled command injection and remote shell access. The "Open in Cloud Shell" functionality allowed a user to provide values for both the "git_repo" and "go_get_repo" parameters, which would clone the target repo in the user's environment. While "git_repo" was validated against a list of trusted repos, "go_get_repo" was not. Therefore, an attacker could have supplied a trusted repository as "git_repo" and an arbitrary command in the "go_get_repo…
