GCP HMAC Keys do not log creation, deletion or usage

Summary
Cloud Audit Logs do not capture actions mediated through the cloud console private API
service (cloudconsole-pa). Consequently, there is no logging of HMAC key creation or deletion
linked to user accounts. This absence of logs hampers defenders' ability to alert or monitor
the creation of HMAC keys for user accounts, posing a persistence risk, or their deletion,
presenting a denial of service risk.
Affected Services
