CWE CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Medium

Description

The AWS Redshift parameter group is configured without enforcing SSL connections by omitting require_ssl = true. This means data sent to and from Redshift is not encrypted in transit.

Impact

Without SSL enforced, sensitive information (such as credentials or query results) can be intercepted or read by attackers on the network, potentially leading to data breaches or unauthorized access to your Redshift cluster.
