For example, a user could create a Microsoft or Google account and then change their email to "[email protected]". This Microsoft or Google account can then be used to create a Hail Batch account in Hail Batch clusters whose organization domain is "example.org". In Google, this attack is partially mitigated because Google requires users to verify ownership of their Google account. However, a valid user is able to create multiple distinct Hail Batch accounts by creating multiple distinct Google accounts using email addresses of the form "[email protected]".

Microsoft Windows PowerShell Code Execution / Event Log Bypass

Prior work from this researcher disclosed how PowerShell executes unintended files or BASE64 code when processing specially crafted filenames. This research builds on their PSTrojanFile work, adding a PS command line single quote bypass and PS event logging failure. On Windows CL tab, completing a filename uses double quotes that can be leveraged to trigger arbitrary code execution. However, if the filename got wrapped in single quotes it failed, that is until now.
