Database

Aws Cluster Tls Disabled

Description

Detects Amazon RDS database clusters that do not enforce TLS/SSL encrypted connections. When TLS is not enforced, database connections can be established without encryption, potentially exposing sensitive data in transit to interception or tampering.

Weakness:

016 - Insecure encryption algorithm - SSL/TLS

Category: Information Collection

Detection Strategy

    Checks RDS cluster parameter groups for security parameters 'require_secure_transport' or 'rds.force_ssl'

    Reports a vulnerability if either parameter is set to '0' or 'OFF', indicating TLS/SSL is not enforced

    Examines all database clusters in the specified AWS region and their associated parameter group configurations
