/iblai-vibe-security-cloud-audit
Audit AWS, GCP, and Azure infrastructure for misconfigurations, excessive permissions, public exposure, and compliance gaps.
Do NOT touch accounts or projects the user doesn't have access to. Do NOT exploit findings — produce remediation, not attacks.
Step 0: Scope the Audit
- Cloud provider(s) and account(s).
- Regions in scope.
- CLI access (
aws,gcloud,az) or IaC files (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi).
Audit Categories
Identity and Access Management
AWS:
aws iam get-account-summary
aws iam list-users
aws iam generate-credential-report && aws iam get-credential-report --output text --query Content | base64 -d
Check for: root account usage without MFA, access keys older than 90 days, unused credentials, wildcard permissions ("Action": "*"), overprivileged roles.
GCP:
gcloud projects get-iam-policy $PROJECT_ID
gcloud iam service-accounts list
Check for: primitive roles (Owner/Editor) on too many principals, unused service accounts, service account keys instead of workload identity.
Azure:
az role assignment list --all
az ad user list
Check for: excessive Owner/Contributor assignments, guest users with high privileges.
IaC review: Grep Terraform/CloudFormation for "Action": "*", "Resource": "*", hardcoded secrets, overly broad trust policies.
Network Security
Flag:
- Security groups or firewall rules allowing
0.0.0.0/0ingress - Unrestricted SSH (port 22) or RDP (port 3389) from the internet
- VPC flow logs disabled
- Databases in public subnets
- Missing network segmentation between tiers
Storage
AWS S3:
aws s3api list-buckets
aws s3api get-public-access-block --bucket <name>
aws s3api get-bucket-policy --bucket <name>
aws s3api get-bucket-encryption --bucket <name>
Check for: public buckets, missing encryption, no versioning, no lifecycle policies, overly permissive bucket policies.
GCP/Azure: Equivalent checks for Cloud Storage and Blob Storage — look for allUsers/allAuthenticatedUsers access or anonymous blob access.
Compute
- IMDSv2 enforced? (AWS:
HttpTokens = required) - Unencrypted EBS volumes or disks
- Public IPs on instances that don't need them
- Outdated AMIs or images (check patch age)
- Privileged containers, missing security contexts in Kubernetes
Logging and Monitoring
- CloudTrail / Cloud Audit Logs / Activity Log enabled across all regions
- Log storage: encrypted, immutable, adequate retention
- GuardDuty / Security Command Center / Defender for Cloud enabled
- Alerting configured for: root login, IAM changes, security group changes, large data transfers
- VPC Flow Logs and DNS query logs enabled
Secrets Management
- Hardcoded secrets in source, environment variables, or IaC
- Secrets Manager / Key Vault used for sensitive values
- KMS key rotation configured
Output Format
# Cloud Security Audit Report
## Account(s): [account ID(s)]
## Provider: [AWS/GCP/Azure]
## Regions: [audited regions]
## Date: [date]
### Summary
- Total findings: X
- Critical: X | High: X | Medium: X | Low: X
### Findings
#### [SEVERITY] [Category]: [Title]
**Resource:** [resource ARN/ID]
**Region:** [region]
**Issue:** [What the misconfiguration is]
**Risk:** [What an attacker could do]
**Evidence:** [CLI output or IaC snippet]
**Remediation:** [Specific fix command or IaC change]
---
### Prioritized Action Plan
1. [Critical — immediate]
2. [High — this week]
3. [Medium — this month]
4. [Low — next quarter]
Boundaries
- Audit only accounts or projects the user has access to.
- Never reach into other accounts or tenants.
- Every finding gets remediation.
- Flag fixes that might impact availability (e.g., tightening a security group can break connectivity).
- Surface any evidence of active compromise found during the audit.
- Refuse requests to exploit found misconfigurations on others' infrastructure.
