Abstract
The application enables the deprecated and unsafe BinaryFormatter class.
Explanation
In .NET, you can use the BinaryFormatter class to turn an object into a binary stream that contains both the object itself and the necessary metadata to reconstruct it during deserialization.

Use of the BinaryFormatter class can lead to insecure deserialization scenarios where attackers can execute arbitrary code, abuse application logic, or trigger a denial of service condition.

Use of the BinaryFormatter type is dangerous and is not recommended for data processing, as it cannot be made secure.

Example 1: The application enables the usage of the unsafe BinaryFormatter class by setting the config property EnableUnsafeBinaryFormatterSerialization to true in the runtimeConfig.json file.

...
AppContext.SetSwitch("System.Runtime.Serialization.EnableUnsafeBinaryFormatterSerialization", true);

Abstract
A configuration does not specify a customer-managed encryption key for data at rest.
Explanation
Customer-managed keys are not used to encrypt data at rest.

By default, AWS uses AWS-managed keys to encrypt data at rest if encryption is enabled. Customer-managed keys enable organizations to use cryptographic keys of their choice to encrypt data. This gives organizations better control over and logging of encryption processes.

As such, customer-managed keys are often part of the solution to address requirements that include but are not limited to:
- Audit logs for sensitive data access
- Data residency
- Replacing, disabling, or destroying keys

Note that keys with the format aws/service-name are reserved for AWS-managed keys.

desc.structural.iac.aws.misconfiguration_missing_customer_managed_encryption_key.base
Abstract
A configuration does not specify a customer-managed encryption key for data at rest.
Explanation
Customer-managed keys are not used to encrypt data at rest.

By default, AWS uses AWS-managed keys to encrypt data at rest if encryption is enabled. Customer-managed keys enable organizations to use cryptographic keys of their choice to encrypt data. This gives organizations better control over and logging of encryption processes.

As such, customer-managed keys are often part of the solution to address requirements that include but are not limited to:
- Audit logs for sensitive data access
- Data residency
- Replacing, disabling, or destroying keys

Note that keys with the format aws/service-name are reserved for AWS-managed keys.

Abstract
A configuration does not specify a customer-managed encryption key for data at rest.
Explanation
Customer-managed keys are not used to encrypt data at rest.

By default, AWS uses AWS-managed keys to encrypt data at rest if encryption is enabled. Customer-managed keys enable organizations to use cryptographic keys of their choice to encrypt data. This gives organizations better control over and logging of encryption processes.

As such, customer-managed keys are often part of the solution to address requirements that include but are not limited to:
- Audit logs for sensitive data access
- Data residency
- Replacing, disabling, or destroying keys

Note that keys with the format aws/service-name are reserved for AWS-managed keys.

desc.structural.iac.aws.misconfiguration_missing_customer_managed_encryption_key.base
Abstract
A configuration does not specify a customer-managed encryption key for data at rest.
Explanation
Customer-managed keys are not used to encrypt data at rest.

By default, AWS uses AWS-managed keys to encrypt data at rest if encryption is enabled. Customer-managed keys enable organizations to use cryptographic keys of their choice to encrypt data. This gives organizations better control over and logging of encryption processes.

As such, customer-managed keys are often part of the solution to address requirements that include but are not limited to:
- Audit logs for sensitive data access
- Data residency
- Replacing, disabling, or destroying keys

Note that keys with the format aws/service-name are reserved for AWS-managed keys.

Customer-managed keys are not used to encrypt data at rest.

By default, AWS uses AWS-managed keys to encrypt data at rest if encryption is enabled. Customer-managed keys enable organizations to use cryptographic keys of their choice to encrypt data. This gives organizations better control over and logging of encryption processes.

As such, customer-managed keys are often part of the solution to address requirements that include but are not limited to:
- Audit logs for sensitive data access
- Data residency
- Replacing, disabling, or destroying keys

Note that keys with the format aws/service-name are reserved for AWS-managed keys.
