Aws Cache Encryption Disabled

Description

Detects AWS API Gateway stages that have caching enabled but are not configured with encryption. Unencrypted API cache can expose sensitive data that is stored in the cache, potentially leading to data exposure if the cache is compromised.

Weakness:

165 - Insecure service configuration - AWS

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Scans all REST APIs in the specified AWS region

    For each REST API, examines all its stages to check cache configuration

    Reports a vulnerability if a stage has caching enabled but encryption is not configured

    Only stages with active caching are evaluated - stages without caching are considered secure
