CVE-2025-12952 — A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Google Cloud's Dialogflow CX

High CVSS 8.7

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Google Cloud's Dialogflow CX. Dialogflow agent developers with Webhook editor permission are able to configure Webhooks using Dialogflow service agent access token authentication. This allows the attacker to escalate their privileges from agent-level to project-level, granting them unauthorized access to manage resources in services associated with the project, leading to unexpected costs and resource depletion for the producer project. A fix was applied on the server side to protect from this vulnerability in February 2025. No customer action is required.

Matched remediation archetype

Privilege escalation and unsafe privilege management

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map service accounts, operating-system identities, roles, capabilities, impersonation, set-user transitions, and administrative helper paths.
  • Determine whether untrusted users or lower-privilege processes can reach the affected transition or modify inputs it trusts.
  • Review file, socket, registry, device, job, container, and cloud-role permissions used before and after privilege changes.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the supported fix and redesign privileged operations as a minimal, authenticated, allowlisted interface.
  • Drop privileges before processing untrusted input, verify the drop succeeds, and remove unnecessary roles, capabilities, and write permissions.
  • Validate ownership and permissions at time of use and add explicit lower-to-higher privilege boundary tests.
