OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Medium

Description

The Cloud SQL database instance is not configured to require SSL for incoming connections. This means data sent to and from the database could be transmitted in plaintext over the network.

Impact

Without SSL enforcement, sensitive information—such as credentials and personal data—can be intercepted by attackers during transit, leading to data breaches, account compromise, and regulatory violations.
