aws-ec2-security-group-rule-missing-description

The AWS security group rule is missing a description, or its description is empty or the default value. Security groups rules should include a meaningful description in order to simplify auditing, debugging, and managing security groups.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-223: Omission of Security-relevant Information
OWASP:
- A09:2021 - Security Logging and Monitoring Failures

aws-lambda-environment-credentials

A hard-coded credential was detected. It is not recommended to store credentials in source-code, as this risks secrets being leaked and used by either an internal or external malicious adversary. It is recommended to use environment variables to securely provide credentials or retrieve credentials from a secure vault or HSM (Hardware Security Module).
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
OWASP:
- A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
- A02:2021 - Cryptographic Failures

aws-athena-database-unencrypted

The Athena database is unencrypted at rest. These databases are generally derived from data in S3 buckets and should have the same level of at rest protection. The AWS KMS encryption key protects database contents. To create your own, create a aws_kms_key resource or use the ARN string of a key in your account.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-311: Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
OWASP:
- A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
- A04:2021 - Insecure Design

aws-ecr-repository-wildcard-principal

Detected wildcard access granted in your ECR repository policy principal. This grants access to all users, including anonymous users (public access). Instead, limit principals, actions and resources to what you need according to least privilege.
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-732: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
OWASP:
- A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration

unrestricted-github-oidc-policy

$POLICY is missing a condition block which scopes users of this policy to specific GitHub repositories. Without this, $POLICY is open to all users on GitHub. Add a condition block on the variable token.actions.githubusercontent.com:sub which scopes it to prevent this.
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-284: Improper Access Control
OWASP:
- A05:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
- A01:2021 - Broken Access Control

aws-ec2-launch-configuration-root-block-device-unencrypted

The AWS launch configuration root block device is unencrypted. The block device could be read if compromised. Block devices should be encrypted to ensure sensitive data is held securely at rest.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-311: Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
OWASP:
- A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
- A04:2021 - Insecure Design

aws-secretsmanager-secret-unencrypted

By default, AWS SecretManager secrets are encrypted using AWS-managed keys. However, for added security, it’s recommended to configure your own AWS KMS encryption key to protect your secrets in the Secret Manager. You can either create a new aws_kms_key resource or use the ARN of an existing key in your AWS account to do so.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
OWASP:
- A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure

aws-elasticsearch-nodetonode-encryption-not-enabled

Ensure all Elasticsearch has node-to-node encryption enabled.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
OWASP:
- A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
- A02:2021 - Cryptographic Failures

aws-ec2-launch-template-metadata-service-v1-enabled

The EC2 launch template has Instance Metadata Service Version 1 (IMDSv1) enabled. IMDSv2 introduced session authentication tokens which improve security when talking to IMDS. You should either disable IMDS or require the use of IMDSv2.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-1390: Weak Authentication
OWASP:
- A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures

aws-backup-vault-unencrypted

The AWS Backup vault is unencrypted. The AWS KMS encryption key protects backups in the Backup vault. To create your own, create a aws_kms_key resource or use the ARN string of a key in your account.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-320: CWE CATEGORY: Key Management Errors
OWASP:
- A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure

aws-iam-admin-policy

Detected admin access granted in your policy. This means anyone with this policy can perform administrative actions. Instead, limit actions and resources to what you need according to least privilege.
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-732: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
OWASP:
- A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration
