Description#

IAM groups are configured without enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA), allowing users to access resources with only a password. This setup lacks an important security layer against unauthorized access in case credentials are compromised.

Impact#

Without MFA enforcement, attackers who obtain user passwords can access sensitive AWS resources, increasing the risk of data breaches, privilege escalation, and unauthorized actions within the cloud environment.

Resolution#

Use terraform-module/enforce-mfa/aws to ensure that MFA is enforced
