Control: Ensure IAM password policy requires at least one symbol

Description

Password policies, in part, enforce password complexity requirements. Use IAM password policies to ensure that passwords use different character sets. Security Hub recommends that the password policy require at least one symbol. Setting a password complexity policy increases account resiliency against brute force login attempts.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run terraform_aws_compliance.control.iam_account_password_policy_one_symbol

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run terraform_aws_compliance.control.iam_account_password_policy_one_symbol --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

select
  address as resource,
  case
    when (attributes_std -> 'require_symbols') is null then 'alarm'
    when (attributes_std -> 'require_symbols')::boolean then 'ok'
    else 'alarm'
  end as status,
  split_part(address, '.', 2) || case
    when (attributes_std -> 'require_symbols') is null then ' symbol not set to required'
    when (attributes_std -> 'require_symbols')::boolean then ' symbol set to required'
    else ' symbol not set to required'
  end || '.' as reason
  , path || ':' || start_line
from
  terraform_resource
where
  type = 'aws_iam_account_password_policy';
