Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    • Scans all EKS clusters in the specified AWS region

    • Examines each cluster's encryption configuration settings

    • Reports a vulnerability if a cluster's 'encryptionConfig' property is empty or missing

    • Identifies affected clusters by their ARN (Amazon Resource Name)
