Documentation

Background

CloudSploit by Aqua is an open-source project designed to allow detection of security risks in cloud infrastructure accounts, including: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and GitHub. These scripts are designed to return a series of potential misconfigurations and security risks.

Deployment Options

CloudSploit is available in two deployment options:

Self-Hosted

Follow the instructions below to deploy the open-source version of CloudSploit on your machine in just a few simple steps.

Hosted at Aqua Wave

A commercial version of CloudSploit hosted at Aqua Wave. Try Aqua Wave today!

Installation

Ensure that NodeJS is installed. If not, install it from here.

$ git clone git@github.com:cloudsploit/scans.git
$ npm install

Configuration

CloudSploit requires read-only permission to your cloud account. Follow the guides below to provision this access:

For AWS, you can run CloudSploit directly and it will detect credentials using the default AWS credential chain.

CloudSploit Config File

The CloudSploit config file allows you to pass cloud provider credentials by:

  1. A JSON file on your file system
  2. Environment variables
  3. Hard-coding (not recommended)

Start by copying the example config file:

$ cp config_example.js config.js

Edit the config file by uncommenting the relevant sections for the cloud provider you are testing. Each cloud has both a credential_file option, as well as inline options. For example:

azure: {
    // OPTION 1: If using a credential JSON file, enter the path below
    // credential_file: '/path/to/file.json',
    // OPTION 2: If using hard-coded credentials, enter them below
    // application_id: process.env.AZURE_APPLICATION_ID || '',
    // key_value: process.env.AZURE_KEY_VALUE || '',
    // directory_id: process.env.AZURE_DIRECTORY_ID || '',
    // subscription_id: process.env.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID || ''
}

Credential Files

If you use the credential_file option, point to a file in your file system that follows the correct format for the cloud you are using.

AWS

{
  "accessKeyId": "YOURACCESSKEY",
  "secretAccessKey": "YOURSECRETKEY"
}

Azure

{
  "ApplicationID": "YOURAZUREAPPLICATIONID",
  "KeyValue": "YOURAZUREKEYVALUE",
  "DirectoryID": "YOURAZUREDIRECTORYID",
  "SubscriptionID": "YOURAZURESUBSCRIPTIONID"
}

GCP

Note: For GCP, you generate a JSON file directly from the GCP console, which you should not edit.

{
    "type": "service_account",
    "project": "GCPPROJECTNAME",
    "client_email": "GCPCLIENTEMAIL",
    "private_key": "GCPPRIVATEKEY"
}

Oracle OCI

{
  "tenancyId": "YOURORACLETENANCYID",
  "compartmentId": "YOURORACLECOMPARTMENTID",
  "userId": "YOURORACLEUSERID",
  "keyFingerprint": "YOURORACLEKEYFINGERPRINT",
  "keyValue": "YOURORACLEKEYVALUE",
}

Environment Variables

CloudSploit supports passing environment variables, but you must first uncomment the section of your config.js file relevant to the cloud provider being scanned.

You can then pass the variables listed in each section. For example, for AWS:

{
  access_key: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID || '',
  secret_access_key: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY || '',
  session_token: process.env.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN || '',
}

Running

To run a standard scan, showing all outputs and results, simply run:

$ ./index.js

CLI Options

CloudSploit supports many options to customize the run time. Some popular options include:

  • AWS GovCloud support: --govcloud
  • AWS China support: --china
  • Save the raw cloud provider response data: --collection=file.json
  • Ignore passing (OK) results: --ignore-ok
  • Exit with a non-zero code if non-passing results are found: --exit-code
    • This is a good option for CI/CD systems
  • Change the output from a table to raw text: --console=text

See Output Formats below for more output options.

Compliance

CloudSploit supports mapping of its plugins to particular compliance policies. To run the compliance scan, use the --compliance flag. For example:

$ ./index.js --compliance=hipaa
$ ./index.js --compliance=pci

Multiple compliance modes can be run at the same time:

$ ./index.js --compliance=cis1 --compliance=cis2

CloudSploit currently supports the following compliance mappings:

HIPAA

$ ./index.js --compliance=hipaa

HIPAA scans map CloudSploit plugins to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

PCI

$ ./index.js --compliance=pci

PCI scans map CloudSploit plugins to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.

CIS Benchmarks

$ ./index.js --compliance=cis
$ ./index.js --compliance=cis1
$ ./index.js --compliance=cis2

CIS Benchmarks are supported, both for Level 1 and Level 2 controls. Passing --compliance=cis will run both level 1 and level 2 controls.

Output Formats

CloudSploit supports output in several formats for consumption by other tools. If you do not specify otherwise, CloudSploit writes output to standard output (the console) as a table.
