TF 0492 - SymbioticSec/Symbiotic-Vulnerability-Database GitHub Wiki

Instance with unencrypted block device.

Property Value
Language terraform
Severity high
Service ec2
Provider AWS
Vulnerability Type omission

Description

EC2 instances are configured with block devices (such as EBS volumes) that do not have encryption enabled. This means data stored on these devices is written in plaintext at rest.

Impact

If an attacker gains access to the underlying storage, unencrypted data can be read or copied without restriction, exposing sensitive information and potentially violating compliance requirements.

Resolution

Turn on encryption for all block devices
