Database

Aws Instance Tls Disabled

Description

Detects AWS RDS database instances that do not enforce TLS/SSL encrypted connections from clients. When TLS is not enforced, sensitive data transmitted between clients and the database could be exposed to network-level attacks.

Weakness:

016 - Insecure encryption algorithm - SSL/TLS

Category: Information Collection

Detection Strategy

    Examines each RDS instance's parameter group settings

    Checks if 'require_secure_transport' or 'rds.force_ssl' parameters are set to '0' or 'OFF'

    Reports a vulnerability if SSL/TLS encryption is not mandatory for client connections to the database
