services / Google Cloud / Pub/Sub subscription

A Pub/Sub subscription receives messages published to a Pub/Sub topic.

Subscriptions can allow an attacker to read Pub/Sub messages, which may contain sensitive information.


pubsub.​subscriptions.​create

Creating a subscription does not provide access to Pub/Sub data on its own, since you cannot consume messages or attach the subscription to a topic.

Risks

Scope: LOW

This privilege allows access to data that are not meant to be public, but are otherwise not sensitive.
