Organization compromise via unauthorized service account attachment
Published Jun 8, 2026 · Updated Jun 8, 2026
Missing authorization in STACKIT IaaS API before 2026-05-28 allows remote authenticated users to compromise an organization. The PUT servers service-accounts endpoint fails to verify that the requested service account belongs to the caller's tenant before attaching it to a controlled VM. Low-privileged access and control of a VM are required; the attached account's OAuth2 token is then exposed through the server-local metadata API, granting that account's organization-wide permissions.
