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.

Azure Terraform Misconfiguration: Insecure Logic App Transport

Abstract

The configuration defines an Azure Service that does not enforce encrypted communication.

Explanation

Unencrypted communication channels are prone to eavesdropping and tampering. Servicing client requests over an insecure communications channel allows attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks, and gives them access to read or modify the data in transit.
