Aws Opensearch Without Audit Logs

Description

Detects AWS OpenSearch domains that do not have audit logging enabled. Audit logs are critical for security monitoring and compliance as they track user and API activities within OpenSearch domains, helping detect and investigate potential security incidents.

Weakness:

400 - Traceability Loss - AWS

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Reports a vulnerability when an AWS OpenSearch domain exists with audit logging disabled (LogPublishingOptions.AUDIT_LOGS.Enabled = false)

    Checks each OpenSearch domain in the specified AWS region

    A vulnerability is reported if the AUDIT_LOGS configuration is either missing or explicitly set to disabled
