To remediate the misconfiguration of “Disable Automatic IAM Role Grants for Default Service Accounts” in GCP, you can follow the below steps using GCP CLI:

1. Open the GCP Cloud Shell or any terminal with GCP CLI installed.

2. Run the following command to list the existing default service accounts in your project:

gcloud iam service-accounts list

3. Select the default service account for which you want to disable the automatic IAM role grant. For example, if you want to disable it for the Compute Engine default service account, run the following command:

gcloud iam service-accounts describe <COMPUTE_ENGINE_DEFAULT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL>

Replace <COMPUTE_ENGINE_DEFAULT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL> with the email address of the Compute Engine default service account.

4. Once you have identified the default service account, run the following command to disable the automatic IAM role grant:

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding <PROJECT_ID> --member serviceAccount:<DEFAULT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL> --role roles/iam.serviceAccountUser --condition=None

Replace <PROJECT_ID> with your GCP project ID and <DEFAULT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL> with the email address of the default service account that you want to modify.

5. Verify that the automatic IAM role grant has been disabled for the default service account by running the following command:

gcloud iam service-accounts get-iam-policy <DEFAULT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL>

This should return an empty policy for the default service account, indicating that no roles are automatically granted.

That’s it! You have successfully remediated the misconfiguration of “Disable Automatic IAM Role Grants for Default Service Accounts” in GCP using GCP CLI.

To remediate the misconfiguration “Disable Automatic IAM Role Grants for Default Service Accounts” for GCP using Python, follow the below steps:

1. First, you need to create a service account for your project using the GCP console. Give it the necessary permissions to manage IAM roles.

2. Install the necessary Python libraries for GCP authentication and authorization. You can use the following command to install these libraries:

!pip install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2 google-cloud-iam google-cloud-resource-manager

3. Authenticate and authorize your Python script to access your GCP project. You can use the following code snippet to do this:

from google.oauth2 import service_account
from google.cloud import iam

credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
    'path/to/your/service_account.json')
client = iam.IAMClient(credentials=credentials)

4. List all the default service accounts in your GCP project. You can use the following code snippet to do this:

from google.cloud import resource_manager

project_id = 'your-project-id'
client = resource_manager.Client()
project = client.project(project_id)
service_accounts = client.list_service_accounts(project)
for account in service_accounts:
    if account.email.startswith('default'):
        print(account.email)

5. Disable automatic IAM role grants for each default service account. You can use the following code snippet to do this:

from google.api_core.exceptions import NotFound

project_id = 'your-project-id'
policy = client.get_policy(project_id)
for binding in policy.bindings:
    if binding.role == 'roles/editor':
        for member in binding.members:
            if member.startswith('serviceAccount:'):
                try:
                    client.test_iam_permissions(
                        member, ['iam.roles.delete'])
                    client.set_iam_policy(
                        member, {'bindings': []})
                except NotFound:
                    pass

This code snippet will remove all the IAM role grants for the default service accounts in the specified project. You can modify the code to suit your specific requirements.
