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.

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
