This article explores the security implications of serverless authentication across major cloud platforms. It details how attackers target serverless functions to exploit vulnerabilities arising from insecure code and misconfigurations. The mechanics of serverless authentication are explained for AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions. The article outlines potential attack vectors for token exfiltration, including SSRF and RCE, and provides simulations demonstrating how tokens can be extracted and misused. Detection strategies are discussed, focusing on identifying serverless identities and anomalous behavior. Prevention measures are suggested, emphasizing the principle of least privilege and robust input validation. The article concludes by stressing the importance of understanding serverless credential mechanics and implementing proactive security measures to protect cloud environments.

This threat campaign focuses on the exploitation of serverless authentication mechanisms across major cloud platforms, specifically AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions. Serverless computing allows organizations to run code without managing servers, relying on cloud providers to handle infrastructure. Authentication in these environments typically involves tokens or credentials that grant access to cloud resources. Attackers exploit vulnerabilities arising from insecure code practices and misconfigurations within serverless functions to exfiltrate these tokens. Key attack vectors include Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and Remote Code Execution (RCE), which enable adversaries to manipulate serverless functions to access sensitive tokens. These tokens, once extracted, can be misused to escalate privileges, move laterally within cloud environments, or access sensitive data and services. The campaign highlights the mechanics of serverless authentication, demonstrating how tokens are generated, stored, and used by serverless identities. Detection strategies focus on identifying anomalous behavior associated with serverless identities, such as unusual invocation patterns or token usage. Prevention recommendations emphasize the principle of least privilege, ensuring serverless functions have only the minimum permissions necessary, and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks that could lead to SSRF or RCE. The campaign underscores the critical need for organizations to understand serverless credential mechanics and implement proactive security controls to safeguard their cloud environments.
