Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Security Command Center V1 API module Google::Cloud::SecurityCenter::V1::Finding::Severity.
The severity of the finding.
Constants
SEVERITY_UNSPECIFIED
value: 0
This value is used for findings when a source doesn't write a severity
value.
CRITICAL
value: 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
value: 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
value: 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
value: 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.
