Insufficient Logging

Property Value
Language hcl
Severity medium
CWE CWE-778: Insufficient Logging
OWASP A09:2021 - Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
Confidence Level High
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The AWS Config aggregator is set to collect configuration data from only specific regions instead of all regions. This leaves some AWS regions unmonitored, potentially missing important changes in those areas.

Impact

If not all regions are included, unauthorized or accidental changes in unmonitored regions could go undetected, leading to blind spots in security monitoring. Attackers or misconfigurations in these regions might compromise resources without being logged or alerted.
