Private access enabled remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration “Private Access Should Be Enabled For Subnets” for GCP using GCP CLI, follow these steps:

Open the Cloud Shell in the GCP Console by clicking on the terminal icon in the top right corner.
Run the following command to list all the subnets in your project:

gcloud compute networks subnets list

Identify the subnet that needs to be remediated.
Run the following command to enable private access for the identified subnet:

gcloud compute networks subnets update [SUBNET_NAME] --enable-private-ip-google-access

Replace [SUBNET_NAME] with the name of the subnet that needs to be remediated.

Verify that private access has been enabled for the subnet by running the following command:

gcloud compute networks subnets describe [SUBNET_NAME] | grep privateIpGoogleAccess

The output should show “privateIpGoogleAccess: true”.

Repeat steps 3-5 for any other subnets that need to be remediated.

Once you have completed these steps, private access will be enabled for the specified subnets in your GCP project.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration “Private Access Should Be Enabled For Subnets” in GCP using Python, you can follow the below steps:

Import the necessary libraries:

from googleapiclient import discovery
from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials

Authenticate and create the GCP compute API client:

credentials = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()
compute = discovery.build('compute', 'v1', credentials=credentials)

Get the list of all subnetworks in the project:

project = 'your-project-id'
zone = 'your-zone'
subnetworks = compute.subnetworks().list(project=project, region=zone).execute()

Iterate through each subnetwork and check if Private Google Access is enabled or not:

for subnetwork in subnetworks['items']:
    subnetwork_name = subnetwork['name']
    subnetwork_selflink = subnetwork['selfLink']
    subnetwork_response = compute.subnetworks().get(project=project, region=zone, subnetwork=subnetwork_name).execute()
    if subnetwork_response['privateIpGoogleAccess'] == False:
        print(f"Private Google Access is not enabled for subnetwork {subnetwork_name}")

If Private Google Access is not enabled, enable it using the following code:

subnetwork_response['privateIpGoogleAccess'] = True
request = compute.subnetworks().patch(project=project, region=zone, subnetwork=subnetwork_name, body=subnetwork_response)
response = request.execute()
print(f"Private Google Access is enabled for subnetwork {subnetwork_name}")

Note: Replace ‘your-project-id’ and ‘your-zone’ with your actual project ID and zone name.This code will loop through all subnetworks in the specified project and zone and enable Private Google Access for each subnetwork that doesn’t have it enabled.
