Aws Cluster Publicly Accessible

Description

Detects Amazon MSK (Managed Streaming for Kafka) clusters that are configured with public accessibility. When an MSK cluster is publicly accessible through service-provided Elastic IPs, it increases the attack surface by allowing potential access from the internet, which could lead to unauthorized access to your Kafka resources.

Weakness:

165 - Insecure service configuration - AWS

Category: Functionality Abuse

Detection Strategy

    Scans all MSK clusters in the specified AWS region (excluding serverless clusters)

    Checks if the cluster's public access type is set to 'SERVICE_PROVIDED_EIPS'

    Reports a vulnerability if the cluster is configured to be publicly accessible through Elastic IPs
