Macros

The SPL above uses the following Macros:

Note that gcp_detect_gcploit_framework_filter is a empty macro by default. It allows the user to filter out any results (false positives) without editing the SPL.

Required field

  • _time
  • data.protoPayload.request.function.timeout
  • src
  • src_user
  • data.resource.labels.project_id
  • data.protoPayload.request.function.serviceAccountEmail
  • data.protoPayload.authorizationInfo{}.permission
  • data.protoPayload.request.location
  • http_user_agent

How To Implement

You must install splunk GCP add-on. This search works with gcp:pubsub:message logs

Known False Positives

Payload.request.function.timeout value can possibly be match with other functions or requests however the source user and target request account may indicate an attempt to move laterally accross acounts or projects
