GmapsXploit

GmapsXploit audits exposed or unrestricted Google API keys and turns them
into high-impact findings. It tests a key against Google Maps, Places, Roads,
the newer Routes and Aerial View endpoints, and several Cloud services, then
shows the real risk: what the key can reach and what it costs. Instead of a
low se note, you get a clear impact and a ready-to-submit report.

What is GmapsXploit?

It is a single Bash script for bug bounty hunters, penetration testers, and
researchers who find Google API keys in web apps, mobile apps, or extensions.
It probes the key across more than thirty endpoints, detects restrictions such
as IP or referer limits, estimates billing impact from request , and
writes a Markdown report suitable for a program.

Why this matters

Unrestricted Google API keys, especially with Places or the ad APIs
enabled, allow anyone to run up a bill on the owner's account. There are
public cases where costs reached tens of thousands of dollars in a short
time. GmapsXploit shows that impact with real numbers and a working proof.

Co

Features

Installation

Bash 4.0 or later. No external dependencies.

Usage

1. Enter the target Google API key.
2. Watch the reconnaissance phase.
3. Review the financial impact results.
4. Use the generated report for submission.

Output

Each run writes two files:
