1. Open the GCP Console and navigate to the Cloud SQL instances page.
2. Select the instance for which you want to remediate the misconfiguration.
3. Click on the “Edit” button at the top of the instance details page.
4. Scroll down to the “Flags” section and click on the “Add item” button.
5. In the “Name” field, enter “local_infile” (without quotes).
6. In the “Value” field, enter “0” (without quotes).
7. Click on the “Save” button at the bottom of the page to save the changes.
8. Wait for the instance to restart with the new configuration.
9. Verify that the MySQL Local Infile Flag is disabled by running the following command in the Cloud Shell: gcloud sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME] --format="get(settings.mysqlFlags)" Replace [INSTANCE_NAME] with the name of your instance. The output should show the “local_infile” flag with a value of “0”.

​

1. Open the Cloud Shell in the GCP Console.
2. Run the following command to check the current status of the local_infile flag:

gcloud sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME] --format="get(settings.flags.local_infile)"

3. If the output is ON, then the local_infile flag is enabled and needs to be disabled.
4. Run the following command to disable the local_infile flag:

gcloud sql instances patch [INSTANCE_NAME] --database-flags local_infile=0

5. Verify that the local_infile flag is now disabled by running the first command again. The output should be 0.
6. Repeat these steps for any other Cloud SQL instances that have the local_infile flag enabled.

1. Connect to the GCP project where the instance is running using the Python client library.
2. Get the instance details using the compute.instances().get() method.
3. Check if the MySQL instance is running on the instance.
4. If MySQL is running, SSH into the instance using the paramiko library.
5. Execute the following command to edit the MySQL configuration file:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
   

6. Add the following line to the [mysqld] section of the file:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   local_infile=0
   

7. Save and close the file.
8. Restart the MySQL service using the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   sudo service mysql restart
   

9. Verify that the MySQL Local Infile Flag is disabled by running the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   mysql -u <username> -p -e "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'local_infile'"
   

   If the output is local_infile | OFF, then the MySQL Local Infile Flag is disabled.
