Class Finding (1.20.0)

Security Command Center finding. A finding is a record of assessment data like security, risk, health, or privacy, that is ingested into Security Command Center for presentation, notification, analysis, policy testing, and enforcement. For example, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in an App Engine application is a finding.

The abstract base class for a message.

Represents what kind of Finding it is.

Values: FINDING_CLASS_UNSPECIFIED (0): Unspecified finding class. THREAT (1): Describes unwanted or malicious activity. VULNERABILITY (2): Describes a potential weakness in software that increases risk to Confidentiality & Integrity & Availability. MISCONFIGURATION (3): Describes a potential weakness in cloud resource/asset configuration that increases risk. OBSERVATION (4): Describes a security observation that is for informational purposes. SCC_ERROR (5): Describes an error that prevents some SCC functionality.

Mute state a finding can be in.

Values: MUTE_UNSPECIFIED (0): Unspecified. MUTED (1): Finding has been muted. UNMUTED (2): Finding has been unmuted. UNDEFINED (4): Finding has never been muted/unmuted.

The severity of the finding.

Values: SEVERITY_UNSPECIFIED (0): This value is used for findings when a source doesn't write a severity value. CRITICAL (1): Vulnerability: A critical vulnerability is easily discoverable by an external actor, exploitable, and results in the direct ability to execute arbitrary code, exfiltrate data, and otherwise gain additional access and privileges to cloud resources and workloads. Examples include publicly accessible unprotected user data, public SSH access with weak or no passwords, etc. Threat: Indicates a threat that is able to access, modify, or delete data or execute unauthorized code within existing resources. HIGH (2): Vulnerability: A high risk vulnerability can be easily discovered and exploited in combination with other vulnerabilities in order to gain direct access and the ability to execute arbitrary code, exfiltrate data, and otherwise gain additional access and privileges to cloud resources and workloads. An example is a database with weak or no passwords that is only accessible internally. This database could easily be compromised by an actor that had access to the internal network. Threat: Indicates a threat that is able to create new computational resources in an environment but not able to access data or execute code in existing resources. MEDIUM (3): Vulnerability: A medium risk vulnerability could be used by an actor to gain access to resources or privileges that enable them to eventually (through multiple steps or a complex exploit) gain access and the ability to execute arbitrary code or exfiltrate data. An example is a service account with access to more projects than it should have. If an actor gains access to the service account, they could potentially use that access to manipulate a project the service account was not intended to. Threat: Indicates a threat that is able to cause operational impact but may not access data or execute unauthorized code. LOW (4): Vulnerability: A low risk vulnerability hampers a security organization's ability to detect vulnerabilities or active threats in their deployment, or prevents the root cause investigation of security issues. An example is monitoring and logs being disabled for resource configurations and access. Threat: Indicates a threat that has obtained minimal access to an environment but is not able to access data, execute code, or create resources.

The state of the finding.

Values: STATE_UNSPECIFIED (0): Unspecified state. ACTIVE (1): The finding requires attention and has not been addressed yet. INACTIVE (2): The finding has been fixed, triaged as a non-issue or otherwise addressed and is no longer active.
