Database

Aws Docdb Cluster Tls Disabled

Description

Detects AWS DocumentDB clusters that have TLS (Transport Layer Security) disabled. Running DocumentDB clusters without TLS encryption exposes sensitive data to potential interception during transmission, as communications between clients and the database cluster are not encrypted.

Weakness:

016 - Insecure encryption algorithm - SSL/TLS

Category: Information Collection

Detection Strategy

    • Scans all DocumentDB clusters in the specified AWS region

    • Retrieves the cluster parameter group settings for each DocumentDB cluster

    • Checks if the 'tls' parameter is set to 'disabled' in the cluster parameter group

    • Reports a vulnerability if any DocumentDB cluster is found with TLS disabled
