TF 0341 - SymbioticSec/Symbiotic-Vulnerability-Database GitHub Wiki

CloudFront distribution does not have a WAF in front.

Property Value
Language terraform
Severity high
Service cloudfront
Provider AWS
Vulnerability Type omission

Description

The CloudFront distribution is not protected by a Web Application Firewall (WAF), leaving it exposed to common web attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and other application-layer threats. The missing WAF means malicious requests are not filtered before reaching the application.

Impact

Without a WAF, attackers can more easily exploit web application vulnerabilities, potentially leading to data breaches, service disruptions, and compromise of sensitive information. This increases the risk of successful attacks against the application and could result in financial or reputational damage.

Resolution

Enable WAF for the CloudFront distribution
