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

Description

Sensitive AWS credentials are hard-coded directly into Lambda environment variables within your Terraform code. This exposes secrets in source control and increases the risk of accidental leaks.

Impact

If these credentials are exposed, attackers could gain unauthorized access to your AWS resources, potentially leading to data theft, service disruption, or significant financial loss. Compromised secrets can be exploited to escalate privileges or launch further attacks on your cloud infrastructure.
