Class Finding (1.33.1)

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.

Mute state a finding can be in.

The severity of the finding.

    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 and public SSH access with
    weak or no passwords.

    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.
