Cross-tenant data access via metadata token theft
Published Dec 6, 2025 · Updated Jan 30, 2026
Improper privilege management in Google Cloud Apigee X before 1-16-0-apigee-3 allows remote authenticated users to access cross-tenant data. The sandbox permits an API proxy to target the link-local metadata endpoint after removing X-Forwarded-For, exposing the message processor service-account token and enabling a malicious Dataflow JAR to obtain a cross-tenant identity. Administrative or developer-level access in the attacker's own Apigee organization is required; the chain reads access logs and reads or writes analytics data across other tenants.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
