Description

Google Cloud KMS CryptoKeys provide cryptographic functionality for encrypting and decrypting sensitive data in Google Cloud. When KMS CryptoKey IAM policies include allUsers or allAuthenticatedUsers, they become publicly accessible, creating a serious security vulnerability that could lead to unauthorized access to encryption capabilities, data breaches, or compromised encrypted information.

Insecure configuration example:

data "google_iam_policy" {
  binding {
    role = "roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypter"
    members = ["allUsers"]
  }
}

Secure configuration with specific user access:

data "google_iam_policy" {
  binding {
    role = "roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypter"
    members = [
      "user:jane@example.com",
    ]
  }
}

Compliant Code Examples

resource "google_kms_key_ring" "negative" {
  name     = "negative-example"
  location = "global"
}
resource "google_kms_crypto_key" "negative" {
  name            = "crypto-key-example"
  key_ring        = google_kms_key_ring.negative.id
  rotation_period = "100000s"
  lifecycle {
    prevent_destroy = true
  }
}

data "google_iam_policy" "negative" {
  binding {
    role = "roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypter"

    members = [
      "user:jane@example.com",
    ]
  }
}

resource "google_kms_crypto_key_iam_policy" "negative" {
  crypto_key_id = google_kms_crypto_key.negative.id
  policy_data = data.google_iam_policy.negative.policy_data
}

Non-Compliant Code Examples

  name     = "keyring-example"
  location = "global"
}

  name            = "crypto-key-example"
  key_ring        = google_kms_key_ring.positive2.id
  rotation_period = "100000s"
  lifecycle {
    prevent_destroy = true
  }
}

data "google_iam_policy" "positive2" {
  binding {
    role = "roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypter"

    member = "allAuthenticatedUsers"
  }
}

resource "google_kms_crypto_key_iam_policy" "positive2" {
  crypto_key_id = google_kms_crypto_key.keyyy.id
  policy_data = data.google_iam_policy.positive2.policy_data
}

resource "google_kms_key_ring" "positive1" {
  name     = "keyring-example"

  rotation_period = "100000s"
  lifecycle {
    prevent_destroy = true
