Aws Unencrypted Amis

Description

Identifies AWS EC2 Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) that are not encrypted. Unencrypted AMIs pose a security risk as they could expose sensitive system and application data stored in the image volumes.

Weakness:

333 - Insecure service configuration - EC2

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Scans all AMIs owned by the current AWS account

    Examines each block device mapping in the AMI to check if EBS volumes are encrypted

    Reports a vulnerability when any block device in the AMI has encryption disabled or not set

    Identifies the specific unencrypted block devices within each AMI by their mapping index
