Resource: Finding

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.

sourceProperties

map (key: string, value: value (Value format))

The time the finding was first detected. If an existing finding is updated, then this is the time the update occurred. For example, if the finding represents an open firewall, this property captures the time the detector believes the firewall became open. The accuracy is determined by the detector. If the finding is later resolved, then this time reflects when the finding was resolved. This must not be set to a value greater than the current timestamp.

Severity

The severity of the finding.

Enums
SEVERITY_UNSPECIFIED This value is used for findings when a source doesn't write a severity value.
CRITICAL

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 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

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

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

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.
