id: gcloud-sql-pgaudit-not-enabled info: name: pgAudit Flags Not Enabled for PostgreSQL Instances in Cloud SQL author: princechaddha severity: medium description: | Ensure that the "cloudsql.enable_pgaudit" and "pgaudit.log" database flags are enabled for your Google Cloud PostgreSQL server instances to enable database auditing. These configurations are crucial for compliance with government, financial, and ISO certifications. impact: | Without pgAudit and log configurations, critical database activities may go unmonitored, potentially leading to non-compliance with regulatory standards and increasing the risk of security incidents. remediation: | Configure your PostgreSQL instances with the "cloudsql.enable_pgaudit" flag set to "on" and the "pgaudit.log" flag set to "all". These settings enable enhanced auditing capabilities. reference: - https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/flags tags: cloud,devops,gcp,gcloud,google-cloud-sql,postgresql,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:POSTGRES*' --format="json(name)" extractors: - type: json name: sqlInstances internal: true json: - '.[].name' - engine: - sh - bash source: | gcloud sql instances describe $sqlInstance --format=json | jq '.settings.databaseFlags[]? | select(.name=="cloudsql.enable_pgaudit") | .value' matchers: - type: word words: - 'off' extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - '"Cloud SQL instance " + sqlInstance + " in project " + projectId + " has pgAudit flag disabled (cloudsql.enable_pgaudit=off or pgaudit.log!=all)."' # digest: 4a0a004730450220471a57ddf94cdf8436fb9aa6bb169b4c074528262486b7dfb93434ae87e0230b022100b0f1685f7b43682b3c991f8282774f91f8639322db02fde9b3c8f72dd267a7a5:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
