AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insecure Neptune DB Storage

Abstract
The template defines a Neptune DB cluster without encryption of data at rest.
Explanation
By default, Neptune DB clusters are not encrypted. This exposes the data to potential theft and unauthorized access by attackers.

Example 1: The following example template fails to enable encryption at rest.

{
    "AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
    "Description": "My Neptune DB cluster",
    "Resources": {
        "NeptuneDBCluster": {
            "Type": "AWS::Neptune::DBCluster",
            "Properties": {

                "DBClusterIdentifier": "MyDBClusterIdentifier",
                "DBClusterParameterGroupName": "MyNeptuneDBClusterParameterGroup",
                "DBSubnetGroupName": "MyNeptuneDBSubnetGroup",
                "IamAuthEnabled": true,
                "Port": 8080,

                "PreferredMaintenanceWindow": "NeptuneDBClusterPreferredMaintenanceWindow"
            }
        }
    }

Azure ARM Misconfiguration: Improper App Service Access Control

Abstract
The template defines an Azure App Service with remote debugging enabled.
Explanation
Debugging interfaces provide attackers with information that they can leverage for a more targeted attack.

Example 1: The following example template defines an Azure App Service with remote debugging enabled.

resource example 'Microsoft.Web/sites/config@2022-09-01' = {
    ...
    properties: {
        ...
        remoteDebuggingEnabled: true
    }
}

Web Server Misconfiguration: Service Enumeration

Abstract
Allowing public access to a web services description document could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to critical server data.
Explanation
WSDL's contain information about the web services that the server offers. An unintended exposure of this information can cause unauthorized access to server methods. An attacker can bypass the client application and directly call web methods.

Azure ARM Misconfiguration: Improper Custom Role Access Control Policy

Abstract
The template defines a role with owner privileges.
Explanation
Custom Azure subscription owner roles provide unrestricted access to all resources under the subscription, greatly increasing the exposure of the organization to risk and violating the least privilege principle.

Example 1: The following example shows a custom owner role definition with all possible privileges.

resource example 'Microsoft.Authorization/roleDefinitions@2022-04-01' = {
    ...
    properties: {
        ...
        permissions: [
            {
                ...
                actions: [ '*' ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

Abstract
The template defines a role with owner privileges.
Explanation
Custom Azure subscription owner roles provide unrestricted access to all resources under the subscription, greatly increasing the exposure of the organization to risk and violating the least privilege principle.

Example 1: The following example shows a custom owner role definition with all possible privileges.

{
    "resources": [
        {
            "name": "roleDef",
            "type": "Microsoft.Authorization/roleDefinitions",
            "apiVersion": "2018-01-01-preview",
            "properties": {
                "roleName": "InfraAdmin",
                "description": "Infrastructure Admin",
                "permissions": [
                    {
                        "actions": [
                            "*"
                        ]
                    }
                ],
                ...
            }
        }
    ]

AWS CloudFormation Misconfiguration: Insecure DocumentDB Storage

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

Example 1: The following example shows a template that defines an Amazon DocumentDB with encryption disabled.

"Resources": {
    "DocDBDefault": {
        "Type": "AWS::DocDB::DBCluster",
        "Properties": {
            "MasterUsername": "name",
            "MasterUserPassword": "password"
        }
    }

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"
            }
        }
    }

GCP Terraform Misconfiguration: GKE Cluster HTTP Basic Authentication

Abstract
A Terraform configuration enables HTTP Basic Authentication on a GKE cluster.
Explanation
A Kubernetes API server, the central management entity of a cluster, accepts HTTP basic authentication to authenticate users. HTTP Basic Authentication is deprecated and susceptible to brute force attacks and exposes user credentials to attackers in a misconfigured environment.

Example 1: The following example shows a Terraform configuration that enables HTTP basic authentication on a GKE cluster by setting username and password to non-empty values in the master_auth block.

resource "google_container_cluster" "container_cluster_demo" {
...
  master_auth {
    username = "foo"
    password = "bar"
  }
...
}

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

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 Elasticsearch 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
