AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insecure Redshift Storage

Abstract
The template defines an Amazon Redshift cluster with no encryption.
Explanation
By default, Amazon Redshift clusters are not encrypted. This exposes the data to unauthorized access and potential theft.

Example 1: The following template defines a Redshift cluster with no encryption enabled.

"Resources": {
    "RedshiftClusterTest": {
        "Type": "AWS::Redshift::Cluster",
        "Properties": {
            "DBName": "mydb",
            "MasterUsername": "master",
            "MasterUserPassword": "masterPass",
            "NodeType": "ds2.xlarge",
            "ClusterType": "single-node",
        }
    }

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insecure S3 Bucket Storage

Abstract
Amazon S3 bucket is created without enabling encryption at rest by default.
Explanation
An Amazon S3 bucket is created without server-side encryption. Encryption mitigates data breaches by making data unreadable to anyone without the proper credentials. As such, encryption at rest is a measure to meet some industrial and government compliance requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI.

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insecure SNS Topic Storage

Abstract
The template defines an unencrypted SNS topic.
Explanation
By default, SNS topics are not encrypted at rest. This potentially exposes the data to unauthorized viewers.

Example 1: The following example template fails to encrypt the SNS topic by neglecting to define an AWS KMS key identifier.

{
    "AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
    "Description": "My SNS topic",
    "Resources": {
        "MySNSTopic": {
            "Type": "AWS::SNS::Topic",
            "Properties": {
                "Subscription": [
                    {
                        "Endpoint": "MySNSEndpoint",
                        "Protocol": "sqs"
                    }
                ],
                "TopicName": "MyTopic"
            }
        }
    }
}

Abstract
The template defines an unencrypted SNS topic.
Explanation
By default, SNS topics are not encrypted at rest. This potentially exposes the data to unauthorized viewers.

Example 1: The following example shows a template that fails to encrypt the SNS topic by neglecting to define an AWS KMS key identifier.


AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-09
Description: My SNS Topic
Resources:
  MySNSTopic:
    Type: AWS::SNS::Topic
    Properties:
      Subscription:
        - Endpoint: "MySNSEndpoint"
      Protocol: "sqs"
      TopicName: "SampleTopic"

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insufficient API Gateway 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

desc.structural.iac.misconfiguration_insufficient_logging.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

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insufficient CloudTrail Logging

Abstract
The template defines a CloudTrail that is not enabled for all regions.
Explanation
By default, a trail logs events only in the AWS Region where it was created.

This allows unaudited and unmonitored activities to take place on the organization's AWS infrastructure.

For example, an authorized AWS user might make configurational changes that cause harm to the organization and avoid detection.

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insufficient CloudTrail Monitoring

Abstract
A configuration sets up a resource that lacks monitoring.
Explanation
Any delayed response to breaches undermines an organization's ability to limit the impact of a breach.

Configuration settings that undermine monitoring capabilities include but are not limited to:
- deliberately disabling monitoring
- not enabling optional monitoring
- not specifying relevant events to export to monitoring services
- exempting actions of specific users, groups, processes, and geographical regions from monitoring

Abstract
A configuration sets up a resource that lacks monitoring.
Explanation
Any delayed response to breaches undermines an organization's ability to limit the impact of a breach.

Configuration settings that undermine monitoring capabilities include but are not limited to:
- deliberately disabling monitoring
- not enabling optional monitoring
- not specifying relevant events to export to monitoring services
- exempting actions of specific users, groups, processes, and geographical regions from monitoring

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insufficient DocumentDB Logging

Abstract
The template does not implement log monitoring.
Explanation
The template does not forward audit logs to Amazon CloudWatch for monitoring. This can allow malicious behavior to go undetected and lead to delayed incident response.

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insufficient ElasticLoadBalancing 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

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insufficient GuardDuty Monitoring

Abstract
A configuration sets up a resource that lacks monitoring.
Explanation
Any delayed response to breaches undermines an organization's ability to limit the impact of a breach.

Configuration settings that undermine monitoring capabilities include but are not limited to:
- deliberately disabling monitoring
- not enabling optional monitoring
- not specifying relevant events to export to monitoring services
- exempting actions of specific users, groups, processes, and geographical regions from monitoring

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insufficient Log Group Logging

Abstract
The template defines a CloudWatch Log Group with no retention period.
Explanation
By default CloudWatch Log Groups retain logs indefinitely. An unset value indicates that organizational data handling polices have not been consulted in order to set appropriate configurations. This might mean that the organization will incur unnecessary expenses in storing and managing logging events that are no longer relevant.

An attacker can launch a Denial of Wallet (DoW) attack by persistently prompting spurious event-logging over an extended period of time, which can impact the organization financially.

Example 1: The following example shows a template that fails to define a retention policy.
