## Impact

This rule is checking to ensure that cloud functions are not set as public. It falls under the category of Application Security. The rationale behind this check is that making cloud functions public exposes them to potential unauthorized access. This can lead to misuse or exploitation of the functions, potentially causing disruption to services, data breaches, or other security incidents. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that only authorized entities have access to these functions for the purpose of maintaining robust security.

## How to Fix

*Resource:* "google\_cloudfunctions\_function\_iam\_member", "google\_cloudfunctions\_function\_iam\_binding" "google\_cloudfunctions2\_function\_iam\_member", "google\_cloudfunctions2\_function\_iam\_binding"

* *Arguments:* member, members

## To fix this issue, you need to ensure that the access control is set to allow only specific services or accounts to invoke the function. \[source,go]

resource "google\_cloudfunctions2\_function\_iam\_binding" "fail" { project = google\_cloudfunctions\_function.pikey.project region = google\_cloudfunctions\_function.pikey.region cloud\_function = google\_cloudfunctions\_function.pikey.name role = "roles/viewer" members = \[

* "allUsers", ] }

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/appsec-rules/iac-security/public-exposure/appsec-gcp-107.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
