id: gcloud-sql-remote-access-enabled info: name: Remote Access Enabled for SQL Server Database Instances author: princechaddha severity: high description: | Ensure that the "remote access" database flag is turned off for your Google Cloud SQL Server database instances. This prevents the execution of stored procedures from local or remote servers on which your SQL Server instances are running, improving security and compliance. impact: | Enabling the "remote access" flag for SQL Server database instances can lead to security vulnerabilities, as it allows execution of stored procedures from remote servers. This increases the attack surface of the database. remediation: | Disable the "remote access" database flag for all SQL Server database instances in Google Cloud Platform. Update the database configuration settings to ensure the flag is turned off. reference: - https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/sqlserver/configure-instance-settings 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 --format=json | jq '.settings.databaseFlags // [] | .[] | select(.name=="remote access") | .value' matchers: - type: word words: - 'on' extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - '"Remote Access is enabled for SQL instance " + sqlInstance + " in project " + projectId' # digest: 4a0a00473045022100caa3988d8fd3a975f90fd1c7ce714d78cdb0cbaaf62a6ce27e4402b18932d2e002202cd3122442109f5ab45c20051160a900dacf9bd7a23cde8e67dcba57d4bf3e96:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
