An improper privilege management vulnerability was found in Looker Studio. It impacted all JDBC-based connectors.
A Looker Studio user with report view access could make a copy of the report and execute arbitrary SQL that would run on the data source database due to the stored credentials attached to the report.
This vulnerability was patched on 21 July 2025, and no customer action is needed.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
