Aws Not Requires Symbols
Description
Identifies AWS IAM password policies that don't require special characters (symbols) in passwords. Not requiring symbols in passwords reduces password complexity and makes passwords more susceptible to brute force attacks.
Detection Strategy
• Examines the AWS account's IAM password policy configuration
• Reports a vulnerability if the RequireSymbols setting is explicitly set to false
• Reports a vulnerability if no password policy exists (implying symbols are not required)
• Identifies the specific password policy ARN and configuration value in the vulnerability report
