Summary
Composer, Dataflow, Dataproc, Dataprep and Data Fusion all used the Compute Engine
default service account by default and relied on product-level IAM permissions
without requiring the iam.serviceAccount.actAs permission, meaning that users of
these services could elevate their privileges. Following disclosure, GCP changed
these services to require this permission.
