  name: ElasticBeanstalk Subdomain Takeover Detection
  author: philippedelteil,rotemreiss,zy9ard3,joaonevess
  severity: high
  description: ElasticBeanstalk subdomain takeover detected. A subdomain takeover occurs when an attacker gains control over a subdomain of a target domain. Typically, this happens when the subdomain has a canonical name (CNAME) in the Domain Name System (DNS), but no host is providing content for it.

      Only CNAMEs with region specification are hijackable.
      You need to claim the CNAME in AWS portal (https://aws.amazon.com/) or via AWS CLI to confirm the takeover.
      Do not report this without claiming the CNAME.
      CLI command to verify the availability of the environment:
      aws elasticbeanstalk check-dns-availability --region {AWS_REGION} --cname-prefix {CNAME_PREFIX}
      For example:
      CNAME - 2rs3c.eu-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com
      Command - aws elasticbeanstalk check-dns-availability --region eu-west-1 --cname-prefix 2rs3c
