id: gcloud-sql-contained-db-authentication-enabled info: name: Contained Database Authentication Enabled in SQL Server Database Instances author: princechaddha severity: medium description: | Ensure that the "contained database authentication" database flag is disabled for your Google Cloud SQL Server database instances. This flag, when enabled, allows databases to contain their authentication and can potentially lead to security vulnerabilities. impact: | Enabling the "contained database authentication" flag can introduce security risks by allowing databases to manage authentication independently, bypassing centralized security controls. remediation: | Disable the "contained database authentication" flag in your SQL Server database instance configuration to enhance security and enforce centralized authentication. reference: - https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/sqlserver/flags tags: cloud,devops,gcp,gcloud,google-cloud-sql,sqlserver,gcp-cloud-config flow: | code(1) for(let projectId of iterate(template.projectIds)){ set("projectId", projectId) code(2) for(let sqlInstance of iterate(template.sqlInstances)){ set("sqlInstance", sqlInstance) code(3) } } self-contained: true code: - engine: - sh - bash source: | gcloud projects list --format="json(projectId)" extractors: - type: json name: projectIds internal: true json: - '.[].projectId' - engine: - sh - bash source: | gcloud sql instances list --project $projectId --filter=DATABASE_VERSION:SQLSERVER* --format="json(name)" extractors: - type: json name: sqlInstances internal: true json: - '.[].name' - engine: - sh - bash source: | gcloud sql instances describe $sqlInstance --project $projectId --format=json | jq -r '.settings.databaseFlags[]? | select(.name=="contained database authentication") | .value // "null"' matchers: - type: word words: - 'on' extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - '"The contained database authentication flag is enabled for SQL Server instance " + sqlInstance + " in project " + projectId' # digest: 4b0a004830460221009d7af3ce9bb0c3248c801ba776c3d94a4b60b1f7ac031e8ac0ec07726f637b76022100db7059bad1126aa8dfaf144495d992bd9cfac3635264e239a0f86d7885f50d20:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
