id: route53-dns-query-disabled info: name: DNS Query Logging for Route 53 Hosted Zones - Disabled author: DhiyaneshDK severity: medium description: | Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) represents a set of protocols that adds a layer of security to the Domain Name System (DNS) lookup and exchange processes by enabling DNS responses to be validated. impact: | Disabling DNS query logging for Route 53 hosted zones prevents visibility into DNS queries, making it difficult to detect suspicious activity, troubleshoot issues, or analyze traffic patterns. remediation: | Enable DNS query logging in the Route 53 console for the hosted zone to capture and store DNS queries, allowing for better monitoring and analysis of DNS traffic. reference: - https://www.trendmicro.com/cloudoneconformity-staging/knowledge-base/aws/Route53/enable-query-logging.html - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/monitoring-overview.html tags: cloud,devops,aws,amazon,route53,aws-cloud-config variables: region: "us-west-2" flow: | code(1) for(let HostedZones of iterate(template.hostedzones)){ set("hostedzone", HostedZones) code(2) && code(3) } self-contained: true code: - engine: - sh - bash source: | aws route53 list-hosted-zones --region $region --query "HostedZones[*].Id" --output json extractors: - type: json name: hostedzones internal: true json: - '.[]' - engine: - sh - bash source: | aws route53 get-hosted-zone --id $hostedzone --query "HostedZone.Config.PrivateZone" --region $region --output json matchers: - type: word words: - 'false' internal: true - engine: - sh - bash source: | aws route53 list-query-logging-configs --hosted-zone-id "$hostedzone" --query "QueryLoggingConfigs" --region $region --output json matchers: - type: word words: - '[]' extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - 'hostedzone + " DNSSEC Signing for Route 53 Hosted Zones is Disabled"' # digest: 490a004630440220018711c266d5989a927422b1f3ca48fc29633a1f997a417b68649c02d392537202206fa24b0f17b1b4b89e9e338369a021aafdb5191ada52d1e94b45ca50b2a0513f:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
