Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.
AWS Ansible Misconfiguration: Insecure EC2 AMI Storage
Abstract
An Ansible task creates an Amazon EC2 image (AMI) and attaches a block device without data at rest encryption to the AMI.
Explanation
An Amazon EC2 AMI that maps an unencrypted block device exposes the data to unauthorized access and potential theft.
Example 1: The following Ansible task creates an Amazon EC2 AMI and attaches a block device without data at rest encryption to the AMI because the
Example 1: The following Ansible task creates an Amazon EC2 AMI and attaches a block device without data at rest encryption to the AMI because the
encrypted parameter is set to false.
