Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data

Property Value
Language typescript
Severity medium
CWE CWE-311: Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
OWASP A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level High
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The S3 Bucket is being created without enabling server-side encryption. This means data stored in the bucket is not automatically encrypted at rest, leaving it unprotected.

Impact

Without encryption, sensitive files in the bucket could be accessed in plaintext if the storage layer is compromised. This increases the risk of data breaches, regulatory violations, and unauthorized data exposure.
