RunPod Serverless GPU Endpoint Testing
End-to-end walkthrough for security testing RunPod serverless GPU endpoints: endpoint enumeration, handler exploitation, webhook security, Docker template assessment, and cost abuse prevention.
RunPod provides serverless GPU compute for AI 推論 workloads. Endpoints are backed by Docker containers running custom handler functions that process incoming requests. RunPod manages GPU allocation, scaling, and request queuing, while developers define the handler logic and container image. The platform supports synchronous and asynchronous execution, webhooks for completion notification, and configurable idle worker pools.
The 攻擊面 includes the handler API (輸入 validation, injection), Docker templates (image 安全, credential exposure), webhooks (SSRF, data interception), API key management (認證, 授權), and the billing layer (GPU abuse, idle worker costs). This walkthrough covers each area with practical 測試 techniques specific to RunPod's architecture.
Step 1: Endpoint and Template Reconnaissance
Begin by mapping deployed endpoints, their Docker templates, and handler configurations. 理解 the endpoint architecture reveals where 測試 should focus.

RunPod serverless endpoints accept JSON payloads via /run (async) and /runsync (sync) APIs. The handler function processes the 輸入 dict, and inadequate validation creates injection opportunities.

RunPod workers run Docker containers built from templates. Analyzing the container image reveals dependency 漏洞, credential exposure, and misconfiguration.

| Category | Finding | Typical Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Handler | No 輸入 validation in handler function | Medium |
| Handler | Unsafe deserialization (pickle/torch.load) | High |
| Handler | Command injection via 使用者輸入 | Critical |
| Authentication | API key has full account access | High |
| Authentication | No per-endpoint API key scoping | Medium |
| Webhook | Internal URLs accepted as webhook targets | High |
| Webhook | Full 輸出 data in webhook payloads | Medium |
| Docker | Unpinned image tag (:latest) | Medium |
| Docker | Sensitive env vars in template config | High |
| Docker | Public Docker Hub image (供應鏈) | Medium |
| Storage | Network volume accessible across endpoints | Medium |
| Billing | No per-job cost limits | Medium |
| Billing | Idle workers consuming GPU without traffic | Low |
Common Pitfalls
-
Ignoring the handler as 攻擊面. RunPod handler functions process raw 使用者輸入. Without validation, the handler is the primary injection point for 提示詞注入, command injection, and deserialization attacks.
-
Missing template environment variables. Docker templates store environment variables that are visible to anyone with template access. API keys and secrets stored in template env vars are a common high-severity finding.
-
測試 only sync execution. The async
/runAPI, status polling, and webhook delivery create additional 攻擊面 that sync-only 測試 misses. -
Overlooking idle worker costs. Workers with
workersMin > 0consume GPU resources continuously. A compromised account can set high minimum workers for denial-of-wallet.
What is the 安全 risk of storing API keys in RunPod Docker template environment variables?
