Google OAuth: abandoned domains attack | Kaspersky official blog
- Using Google OAuth authentication for corporate services may lead to security vulnerabilities, such as phantom accounts and abandoned domains attacks.
- Google OAuth authentication primarily verifies access to an email address linked to the organization's Google Workspace, rather than utilizing the unique sub parameter as recommended.
- Attackers can exploit abandoned domains by registering them and creating email addresses within the domain to gain unauthorized access to corporate services that used 'Sign in with Google'.
- By accessing defunct companies' services, attackers can retrieve confidential information, posing a significant risk to employee data privacy and security.
- Around 50% of startups use Google Workspace, potentially leading to millions of vulnerable accounts susceptible to such attacks.
- A researcher discovered this vulnerability and reported it to Google, eventually receiving recognition and a reward for his findings.
- Google has been informed about the issue but has not yet provided a clear timeline or solution to address the problem with Google OAuth authentication.
- Preventive measures for companies include using traditional login methods, enabling two-factor authentication, and properly managing workspace deletion when ceasing operations.
- Startups and organizations are advised to be proactive in addressing security vulnerabilities like the Google OAuth attack associated with abandoned domains.
- Companies should consider the security implications of using 'Sign in with Google' and take necessary steps to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access.
