Authenticated command execution via Git deletion race
Published Nov 19, 2025 · Updated Nov 19, 2025
Race condition in Git directory deletion in Google Cloud Looker allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands. The LookML project Git-deletion path deletes a directory without sufficient synchronization against concurrent project manipulation, creating a race that reaches command execution. Exploitation requires the Looker Developer role, high attack complexity, and active user interaction; successful commands execute on the Looker instance.
