⚔ Commemorated today: The Great Silence of the PlayStation (2011)Blessed GhostToken, the Phantom App
Patron of OAuth apps, cloud projects pending deletion, and guests who never leave.
Life
On 20 April 2023 Astrix Security described GhostToken, a Google Cloud flaw reported in June 2022. A malicious app, once authorised by a user, could make itself invisible and impossible to remove from the Google account's access page, by putting its own project into pending deletion and bringing it back to life when needed. Google fixed it in April 2023: apps in that state now show up in the list too.
Prayer
O Blessed GhostToken, who dwells in the account unseen, let every authorised spirit have a name and a button to cast it out. Amen.
How to celebrate
Celebrated by opening your Google account's connected apps page and kindly dismissing those no longer needed.
An unseen guest is a guest forever.
