CWE	CWE-311: Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data
OWASP	A03:2017 - Sensitive Data Exposure
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	High
Likelihood Level	Low

Description#

The EBS block device in this AWS launch configuration is not encrypted, meaning data stored on it is not protected at rest. This leaves sensitive information vulnerable if the storage is compromised.

Impact#

If an attacker gains access to the unencrypted EBS volume, they could read all stored data, including confidential files or credentials. This could lead to data breaches, regulatory violations, and increased risk of unauthorized data exposure.
