services / Google Cloud / Compute Engine managed instances

Create and alter managed instances.

Allows access to general core VM infrastructure, which can support a broad array of organizational functions. Note that the terms "instance" and "VM" are interchangeable within the compute engine documentation, although may have semantic differences within these privileges.

compute.​instances.​updateAccessConfig

Allows a public IP address to be assigned to or removed from the instance. Further access depends on the instance's firewall rules.

Risks

1. Privilege escalation (CRITICAL)
2. Network destruction (HIGH)

Scope: HIGH

This privilege may grant access to sensitive data from a single organizational function, or allow interruption of a service supporting a single organizational function.
