Database

Aws Cluster Snapshot Unencrypted

Description

Detects AWS RDS database cluster snapshots that are not encrypted at rest. Unencrypted RDS cluster snapshots can expose sensitive database contents if the snapshot storage is compromised, putting data confidentiality at risk.

Weakness:

165 - Insecure service configuration - AWS

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    • Checks each RDS cluster snapshot in the AWS account and region

    • Reports a vulnerability if a snapshot has StorageEncrypted set to false

    • For each unencrypted snapshot, captures the snapshot ARN and encryption status in the vulnerability report
