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.
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
