Aws Domain Allows Http

Description

Detects AWS OpenSearch domains that allow unencrypted HTTP access instead of enforcing HTTPS-only connections. This misconfiguration could enable attackers to intercept sensitive data transmitted between clients and the OpenSearch domain through man-in-the-middle attacks.

Weakness:

372 - Use of an insecure channel - HTTP

Category: Information Collection

Detection Strategy

    Scans all OpenSearch domains in the specified AWS region

    Examines the DomainEndpointOptions.EnforceHTTPS setting for each domain

    Reports a vulnerability if EnforceHTTPS is set to false, indicating HTTP access is allowed

    Each vulnerability includes the domain's ARN and the current insecure configuration value
