Kingdom: Environment

This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.

Abstract
A configuration creates a resource without encryption at rest.
Explanation
Encryption at rest is not enabled. This exposes data to unauthorized access and potential theft.

Abstract
A service does not enforce robust encryption in transit.
Explanation
Insufficiently protected data communication channels can put critical organizational data at risk of theft, tampering, or disclosure.

[56] Standards Mapping - Web Application Security Consortium 24 + 2 Information Leakage
desc.structural.iac.misconfiguration_insecure_transport.base
Abstract
The template defines a service with insufficient audit logging.
Explanation
A lack of audit records limits the ability to detect and respond to security-related incidents and prevents forensic investigation.

Configuration settings that undermine logging capabilities include but are not limited to:
- deliberately disabling audit logging
- exempting actions of specific users, groups, or processes from being logged
- inadequately protecting log integrity
- not enabling optional audit logging
- reducing the log sampling rate

Abstract
An Ansible task defines an AWS CloudTrail with logging disabled.
Explanation
By default, CloudTrail records events and delivers log files but logging is deliberately disabled. This can allow malicious behavior to go undetected and inhibit forensic analysis in the event of a breach.

Example 1: The following Ansible task sets up a CloudTrail with logging disabled because enable_logging is set to false.

- name: create a single region cloudtrail
community.aws.cloudtrail:
s3_bucket_name: mylogbucket
s3_key_prefix: cloudtrail
region: us-west-2
enable_logging: false

desc.structural.iac.yaml.aws_ansible_misconfiguration_insufficient_cloudtrail_logging
Abstract
The template defines a service with insufficient audit logging.
Explanation
A lack of audit records limits the ability to detect and respond to security-related incidents and prevents forensic investigation.

Configuration settings that undermine logging capabilities include but are not limited to:
- deliberately disabling audit logging
- exempting actions of specific users, groups, or processes from being logged
- inadequately protecting log integrity
- not enabling optional audit logging
- reducing the log sampling rate
