Aikido Security has documented that Google Cloud API keys remain functional for approximately 23 minutes after deletion, directly breaking key revocation as a containment action in active incident response. No CVE has been assigned and no official Google acknowledgment has been published. The finding forces immediate revision of any cloud IR playbook that treats API key deletion as immediate containment — during an active incident, an attacker holding a compromised key retains live access through the full post-deletion window.
