OWASP A09:2021 - Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Medium

Description

The AWS ECR repository is configured without image scanning on push, meaning container images are not automatically checked for known vulnerabilities before being stored. This increases the risk of deploying insecure or outdated software.

Impact

If image scanning is disabled, vulnerable images could be pushed to the repository and later deployed to production, potentially exposing your application to exploits, data breaches, or compromise by attackers leveraging unpatched vulnerabilities in your containers.
