Inadequate Encryption Strength

Property Value
Language terraform
Severity high
CWE CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level High
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level Medium

Description

The AWS Elasticsearch domain is configured to allow TLS 1.0 connections, which uses outdated encryption algorithms that are no longer considered secure. This increases the risk of attackers intercepting or tampering with data in transit.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could decrypt or modify sensitive data transmitted between clients and the Elasticsearch service, potentially leading to data breaches or unauthorized access. This weakens the overall security of your cloud infrastructure and may violate compliance requirements.
