Description

This check ensures that Google Compute Engine VM instances have project-wide SSH keys blocked by setting the metadata attribute block-project-ssh-keys to "TRUE". Without this setting, anyone with project-level SSH key access can connect to the VM, increasing the risk of unauthorized access and making it harder to manage individual SSH permissions. For a secure configuration, define the attribute in your Terraform configuration as follows:

metadata = {
  block-project-ssh-keys = "TRUE"
}

Compliant Code Examples

resource "google_compute_instance" "negative1" {
  name         = "test"
  machine_type = "e2-medium"
  zone         = "us-central1-a"

  tags = ["foo", "bar"]

  boot_disk {
    initialize_params {
      image = "debian-cloud/debian-9"
    }
  }

  // Local SSD disk
  scratch_disk {
    interface = "SCSI"
  }

  network_interface {
    network = "default"

    access_config {
      // Ephemeral IP
    }
  }

  metadata = {
    #... some other metadata
    
    block-project-ssh-keys = "TRUE"
  }

  metadata_startup_script = "echo hi > /test.txt"

  service_account {
    scopes = ["userinfo-email", "compute-ro", "storage-ro"]
  }
}

Non-Compliant Code Examples

resource "google_compute_instance" "positive1" {
  name         = "test"
  machine_type = "e2-medium"
  zone         = "us-central1-a"

  tags = ["foo", "bar"]

  boot_disk {
    initialize_params {

  // Local SSD disk
  scratch_disk {
    interface = "SCSI"
  }

  network_interface {
    network = "default"

    access_config {
      // Ephemeral IP
    }
  }

  metadata = {
    #... some other metadata
    block-project-ssh-keys = false
  }

  metadata_startup_script = "echo hi > /test.txt"

  service_account {
    scopes = ["userinfo-email", "compute-ro", "storage-ro"]
