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 Kinesis Data Stream Storage

Abstract
An Ansible task creates an Amazon Kinesis data stream without data at rest encryption.
Explanation
An unencrypted Amazon Kinesis stream storage layer exposes the data to unauthorized access and potential theft.

Example 1: The following Ansible task sets up a Kinesis stream without data at rest encryption because the encryption_state parameter is set to disabled.

- name: Set up Kinesis Stream with 10 shards and wait for the stream to become active
  community.aws.kinesis_stream:
    name: test-stream
    shards: 10
    wait: yes
    wait_timeout: 600
    encryption_state: disabled
  register: test_stream
