ECR repository has image scans disabled.

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

Description

ECR repositories are configured without image scanning enabled, preventing automated detection of vulnerabilities in container images during the push process. This allows potentially insecure images to be stored and deployed without security review.

Impact

Without image scanning, vulnerabilities in container images may go unnoticed, increasing the risk of deploying software with known security flaws. Attackers could exploit these weaknesses to gain unauthorized access, compromise applications, or escalate privileges within the environment.

Resolution

Enable ECR image scanning
