Aws Default Port

Description

Detects AWS ElastiCache clusters configured with default ports (11211 for Memcached or 6379 for Redis). Using default ports makes cache instances more predictable targets for attackers and goes against security best practices of port obfuscation.

Weakness:

165 - Insecure service configuration - AWS

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Scans all ElastiCache clusters in the specified AWS region

    Identifies Memcached engine clusters using port 11211

    Reports a vulnerability when an ElastiCache cluster uses default ports (11211 or 6379)

    Captures both the engine type and port number in the vulnerability report
