Description
The MySQL database instance 'local_infile' flag controls server-side LOCAL capabilities for LOAD DATA statements. If permitted, clients can perform local data loading, which can be a security risk.
How to fix?
Set settings.database_flags.name attribute to "local_infile", and settings.database_flags.value attribute to "off".
Example Configuration
resource "google_sql_database_instance" "allowed" {
name = "master-instance"
database_version = "MYSQL_5_6"
region = "us-central1"
settings {
tier = "db-f1-micro"
database_flags {
name = "local_infile"
value = "off"
}
}
}
