Aws Not Requires Uppercase

Description

Detects when an AWS IAM password policy does not require uppercase characters in passwords. This makes passwords more susceptible to brute force attacks since it allows simpler password combinations that are easier to guess.

Weakness:

363 - Weak credential policy - Password strength

Category: Unexpected Injection

Detection Strategy

    Retrieves the AWS account password policy configuration

    Checks if the RequireUppercaseCharacters setting is disabled (set to false) or not configured

    Reports a vulnerability if uppercase characters are not required in passwords
