Aws Mfa Disabled Console Users

Description

Detects AWS IAM users who have console access enabled but do not have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) configured. This represents a security risk since these users can access the AWS Management Console using only a password, making their accounts more vulnerable to unauthorized access through credential theft or brute force attacks.

Weakness:

081 - Lack of multi-factor authentication

Category: Access Subversion

Detection Strategy

    Identifies all IAM users in the AWS account

    Checks if each user has an active console login profile (can access AWS Management Console)

    Verifies if the user has any MFA devices configured

    Reports a vulnerability if a user has console access but zero MFA devices configured
