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.
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
