AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Weak SecretsManager Generated Password

JSON

Abstract

A configuration allows weak passwords.

Explanation

Authentication is an essential aspect of security. The authentication process's reliability depends on the login credentials' safety and strength. Password policies ensuring users create strong passwords are crucial to deploying secure websites. Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness it provides in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. Some parameters that help define password strength include password characteristics such as password length, complexity, and randomness.

AWS Terraform Misconfiguration: AMI 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.
