Google Cloud Run is a popular platform for deploying containerized applications without managing infrastructure. As Cloud Run adoption increases, security teams face the challenge of detecting threats and malicious activities inside running containers. The Wiz Runtime Sensor provides continuous, real-time visibility into container execution, enabling investigation with the Wiz Blue Agent and automated responses to detected threats. This release complements Wiz\u0026rsquo;s existing agentless security coverage for Cloud Run.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn attacker gains initial access to a Cloud Run container, potentially through a vulnerability in the application code or a misconfiguration in the container image.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker executes a malicious binary within the container that was not part of the original image.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker initiates a reverse shell connection from the container to an external command-and-control server, establishing a communication channel.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker performs reconnaissance within the container environment, enumerating sensitive data and potential lateral movement opportunities.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker attempts to escalate privileges within the container or the underlying Google Cloud environment by exploiting IAM permissions.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker performs DNS queries to known malicious domains, indicating potential command-and-control or data exfiltration activity.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiz Runtime Sensor detects the suspicious activities, correlates the detections into a consolidated threat, and triggers automated response policies.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomated responses, such as terminating the malicious process or blocking specific runtime behaviors, are enacted to contain the threat.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful attacks on Google Cloud Run containers can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of services, and potential compromise of the underlying Google Cloud environment. If cryptomining is performed, this could trigger multiple detections, including a file associated with a known cryptominer, a DNS query to a known mining pool, a cryptominer command line argument, and reverse shell activity.
