Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
AWS Ansible Misconfiguration: Improper Redshift Network Access Control
Abstract
An Ansible task enables public access to an Amazon Redshift cluster.
Explanation
Amazon Redshift clusters are by default not publicly accessible.
Enabling public access to a cluster results in a wider attack surface for the organization.
Example 1: The following example shows an Ansible task that explicitly enables public access to an Amazon Redshift cluster by setting the
Enabling public access to a cluster results in a wider attack surface for the organization.
