AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Redshift Missing Customer-Managed Encryption Key

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.

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Reduced EC2 Availability

Abstract
A configuration reduces the service availability.
Explanation
Cloud services typically use techniques like caching, replication, and load balancing to facilitate service scalability, deliver content faster, and mitigate the impacts of volumetric attacks. Disabled or misconfigured availability features degrade service performance, but immediate effects are often not apparent until extreme events such as traffic spikes and hardware failures occur.

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Reduced Stack Availability

Abstract
A configuration reduces the service availability.
Explanation
Cloud services typically use techniques like caching, replication, and load balancing to facilitate service scalability, deliver content faster, and mitigate the impacts of volumetric attacks. Disabled or misconfigured availability features degrade service performance, but immediate effects are often not apparent until extreme events such as traffic spikes and hardware failures occur.

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Rekognition Missing Customer-Managed Encryption Key

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 allows unlimited resource consumption.
Explanation
Denying access to resources through overuse is a common attack pattern used to exhaust system resources and drive up billing costs.

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: SQS Missing Customer-Managed Encryption Key

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.

A configuration uses a weak authentication mechanism.
Explanation
Weak authentication mechanisms expose organizations to unauthorized access.

Authentication mechanisms can fail for various reasons, such as:
- Weak passwords

Azure Ansible Misconfiguration: Improper Blob Storage Access Control

Abstract
The Ansible task defines an Azure Blob Storage container that allows anonymous access.
Explanation
By default, Azure Blob Storage containers prevent anonymous access to their Blobs.

Insufficient access configurations expose systems and broaden an organization's attack surface. Resources open to public access might unintentionally leak sensitive data.

Example 1: The following example Ansible task defines an Azure Blob Storage container with the public_access parameter set to container. This allows anonymous access to all of the Container's blobs and data.

- name: Create container test
  azure_rm_storageblob:
    resource_group: testGroup
    storage_account_name: sa001
    container: testContainer
    ...
    public_access: container
    ...

Azure Ansible Misconfiguration: Improper Security Group Network Access Control

Abstract
The Ansible task defines a network security group that allows access to administrative services.
Explanation
Overly broad configurations expose systems and broaden an organization's attack surface. Services open to interaction with the public are subjected to almost continuous scanning and probing by attackers.

This is especially problematic when a zero-day exploit for an exposed service is discovered and published (e.g. Heartbleed). Attackers can actively pursue and search for unpatched and exposed systems to exploit.

Example 1: The following example Ansible task allows unrestricted inbound traffic to a range of ports, including the RDP service port (3389).

- name: testFWRule
azure_rm_securitygroup:
    resource_group: testRG
    name: test
    rules:
    - name: rule001
        priority: 100
        direction: Inbound
        access: Allow
        protocol: "*"
        source_port_range: "*"
        destination_port_range: "3388-3398"
        source_address_prefix: "*"
        destination_address_prefix: "*"
    - name: rule002
        priority: 100
        direction: Inbound
        access: Allow
        protocol: "*"
        source_port_range: "*"
        destination_port_range: 22
        source_address_prefix: "*"
        destination_address_prefix: "*"

Azure Ansible Misconfiguration: Improper Storage Account Network Access Control

Abstract
The Ansible task defines an Azure storage account with unrestricted network access.
Explanation
By default, Azure storage accounts created by Ansible accept connections from clients on any network.

Loose access configurations unnecessarily expose systems and broaden an organization's attack surface. Services open to interaction with the public are subjected to almost continuous scanning and probing by malicious entities.

Example 1: The following example Ansible task fails to restrict network access to an Azure storage account.

- name: storage with network acl
azure_rm_storageaccount:
  resource_group: testGroup
  name: sa001
  type: Standard_RAGRS
  network_acls:
    bypass: AzureServices,Metrics
    default_action: Deny
    ip_rules:
      - value: 0.0.0.0/0
        action: Allow
