Moguće je omogućiti javni pristup bazi podataka sa interneta. Napadač će i dalje morati znati korisničko ime i lozinku, IAM pristup, ili eksploatisati kako bi ušao u bazu podataka.
Javni RDS Snimci
AWS omogućava davanje pristupa bilo kome za preuzimanje RDS snimaka. Možete veoma lako da izlistate ove javne RDS snimke iz vašeg sopstvenog naloga:
# Public RDS snapshotsawsrdsdescribe-db-snapshots--include-public## Search by account IDaws rds describe-db-snapshots --include-public --query 'DBSnapshots[?contains(DBSnapshotIdentifier, `284546856933:`) == `true`]'
## To share a RDS snapshot with everybody the RDS DB cannot be encrypted (so the snapshot won't be encryted)## To share a RDS encrypted snapshot you need to share the KMS key also with the account# From the own account you can check if there is any public snapshot with:awsrdsdescribe-db-snapshots--snapshot-typepublic [--region us-west-2]## Even if in the console appear as there are public snapshot it might be public## snapshots from other accounts used by the current account
