| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated principal with access to the EmailTask component of Google Cloud Application Integration (PR:L) able to define/edit an integration task and supply a crafted attachment file path; no user interaction is needed. Exploitation is limited to versions prior to 2026-06-30 - because this is a Google-managed SaaS service, the 2026-06-30 server-side patch is applied universally and no customer-side vulnerable configuration persists, so no self-hosted or unpatched instances remain exploitable. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/SC:H, base 8.3) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity confused-deputy flaw requiring only low-privilege authentication and no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact on both the vulnerable and a subsequent system (SC:H) - consistent with the service's identity boundary being abused to read Google-internal files. However, several risk-reducing signals dominate: there is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC in the provided data, so this is not confirmed exploited and no exploit code is known. Most importantly, Google states the flaw was patched server-side on 2026-06-30 with no customer action required - because Application Integration is a fully-managed GCP SaaS service, the fix is universally deployed and no vulnerable instances remain in customer control. Net: a genuinely serious confidentiality/confused-deputy issue in design terms, but effective real-world risk today is low-to-negligible because it is fully remediated at the provider and was never shown to be exploited. No conflicting signals in the data, though the description does not enumerate exactly which 'Google-internal files' were reachable, so the concrete blast radius is vendor-asserted rather than independently verifiable. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Google Cloud customer with access to Application Integration configures an EmailTask and supplies a crafted attachment file path that points at Google-internal resources rather than the customer's own data. The service, acting as a confused deputy with its own elevated privileges, reads and attaches those internal files, exfiltrating them to the attacker. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is patched server-side as of 2026-06-30. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 28, 2026
An authenticated user with access to the EmailTask component in Google Cloud Application Integration (versions prior to 2026-06-30) can exploit a confused deputy weakness to read and exfiltrate arbitrary Google-internal files by supplying a crafted attachment file path. The flaw requires low-privilege authentication (PR:L) and no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact (C:H) on both the service and a subsequent system (SC:H). No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the issue was patched server-side on 2026-06-30, so no customer action is required.
RemediationAI
Google applied the fix server-side on 2026-06-30, and no customer action is required. Because the affected product is a fully managed SaaS platform, there is no customer-side patch to install or configuration to change; all instances were automatically updated. For verification or additional details, refer to the vendor security bulletins at https://docs.cloud.google.com/application-integration/docs/security-bulletins#gcp-2026-066 and https://docs.cloud.google.com/support/bulletins#gcp-2026-066. If any hypothetical self-managed or hybrid deployment of Application Integration existed, upgrading to the 2026-06-30 or later release would be necessary, but per the vendor, no such deployments are affected. No workarounds are needed, and no other compensating controls are required because the patched service is universal.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Google Cloud Application Integration is a fully managed iPaaS (integration platform as a service) that allows users to create integrations using pre-built tasks, including an EmailTask component for handling email attachments. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-610 (Externally Controlled Reference to a Resource in Another Sphere), a confused deputy weakness where the service fails to properly validate or restrict a user-supplied file path, causing the service's own privileged identity to access Google-internal files on behalf of the attacker. Because the component runs with elevated internal permissions, an authenticated attacker who can define or edit an integration task can craft an attachment path that references files outside the intended directory, leading to information disclosure. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/SC:H) indicates network reachability, low attack complexity, low-privilege authentication, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact on both the vulnerable system and a subsequent system, consistent with the abused identity boundary. No CPE data is available, but the affected product is the SaaS offering, and the fix is a server-side patch.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A Confused Deputy vulnerability in the EmailTask component in Google Cloud Application Integration versions prior to 2026-06-30 on Google Cloud Platform allows an authenticated attacker to read and exfiltrate arbitrary Google-internal files via a crafted attachment file path.
This vulnerability was patched on 30 June 2026, and no customer action is needed.
Executive ViewAI
A high-severity confused deputy flaw in Google Cloud Application Integration's EmailTask component (versions prior to 2026-06-30) allows any low-privilege authenticated user with access to that component to read and exfiltrate arbitrary Google-internal files by supplying a crafted attachment path. Google has already remediated the issue server-side, so customers running the managed service are not required to deploy anything, but any organization that grants broad EmailTask access to developers or integration builders should treat this as a privilege-boundary failure that could expose sensitive data outside the intended tenant scope. Leadership should care because the exposure is silent, requires no user interaction, and spans both the vulnerable service and a downstream system, making detection dependent on log review rather than user reports.
No customer-deployable patch was provided; the vendor reports a server-side fix applied 2026-06-30, so interim mitigations focus on limiting blast radius: restrict EmailTask access to least privilege and only documented accounts, remove the component from integrations that do not require it, review and monitor audit logs and outbound attachment activity for crafted or internal file paths, and alert on anomalous data egress until tenant version status is confirmed with the vendor.
