Medium Terraform Vulnerabilities

Overview

The Medium Terraform Vulnerabilities widget tracks medium-severity vulnerabilities in your Terraform configurations. These issues represent moderate security risks that should be addressed as part of regular maintenance cycles.

Value for IT and Security Engineers

Security Perspective

• Baseline Security: Medium vulnerabilities often indicate deviations from security best practices.

• Security Hardening: Addressing medium vulnerabilities helps strengthen overall security posture.

• Risk Accumulation: Prevents the accumulation of security risks that could compound over time.

Operational Perspective

• Maintenance Planning: Helps plan regular maintenance windows for security improvements.

• Best Practices: Ensures infrastructure configurations align with industry best practices.

• Documentation Requirements: Identifies areas where security documentation may need enhancement.

Use Case Scenarios

• Regular Maintenance: Include medium-severity fixes in routine maintenance cycles.

• Security Baseline: Establish and maintain security baselines across infrastructure.

• Training Opportunities: Identify areas where team training on security practices may be beneficial.

Common Medium Vulnerabilities

1. Suboptimal security configurations

2. Missing security headers

3. Incomplete monitoring setup

4. Non-critical misconfigurations
