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 Lambda Access Control Policy
Abstract
An Ansible task defines a wildcard lambda principal.
Explanation
A wildcard configuration for lambda principals violates the least privilege principle and allows an attacker to invoke the lambda from any account.
Example 1: The following example Ansible task defines a wildcard lambda principal.
Example 1: The following example Ansible task defines a wildcard lambda principal.
