The most important iron rule when using cloud platforms, SaaS platforms, and CI/CD platforms is the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP). We always believe that by setting the minimal amount of privileges possible, we can ensure the security of the system. But is this really the case? This session will present an intriguing case study where the misuse of the Github Actions API led to privilege escalation and the hijacking of the CI/CD process, as well as tampering with the Repository. In this instance, despite the developers adhering strictly to the official documentation's recommended settings for all permissions, in line with the Principle of Least Privilege, it still resulted in the exploitation of vulnerabilities that compromised the website.
