Aws Traffic Allows Http

Description

Detects AWS CloudFront distributions that are configured to allow unencrypted HTTP traffic to origin servers. When CloudFront origins are set to 'http-only' or 'match-viewer', they can accept insecure HTTP connections, potentially exposing sensitive data in transit.

Weakness:

372 - Use of an insecure channel - HTTP

Category: Information Collection

Detection Strategy

    Examines each CloudFront distribution's origin configurations

    Reports a vulnerability if any origin's OriginProtocolPolicy is set to 'http-only' or 'match-viewer'

    Checks custom origin configurations specifically, as these settings determine the protocol used between CloudFront and origin servers
