closes #11807

What this does

This PR adds a new check, elasticbeanstalk_environment_no_secrets_in_configuration, to detect hardcoded secrets in Elastic Beanstalk environment configuration.

I added support for retrieving option_settings from the DescribeConfigurationSettings API in the Elastic Beanstalk service. The check scans the values from these option_settings using detect_secrets_scan_batch (Kingfisher) to detect hardcoded secrets .

If any secrets are found, the check returns FAIL and reports the environment name, namespace, and option name where the secret was found. If no secrets are found, it returns PASS. If the scan cannot be completed, it returns MANUAL instead of reporting a false PASS.

The check also uses annotate_verified_secrets, so if secret validation is enabled and any detected secret is confirmed to be live then the finding is automatically marked as Critical and the report includes that information.

Tests

I also added unit tests for:

  • environment configuration with secrets
  • environment configuration without secrets
  • secret scan failure (MANUAL)
  • no environment

All tests are passing successfully.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features

  • Added a high-severity check for hardcoded secrets in AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment settings.
  • Reports detected secrets with affected configuration details and remediation guidance.
  • Supports configurable ignore patterns and secret validation.
  • Provides pass, fail, or manual-review results for scan outcomes.
  • Handles missing, unavailable, or empty configuration data.

Documentation

  • Added security classifications, CLI guidance, remediation details, and references.

Tests

  • Added coverage for secret detection, clean configurations, scan failures, and empty environments.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an Elastic Beanstalk check that stores environment option settings, scans non-empty values for hardcoded secrets, and reports PASS, FAIL, or MANUAL results. Metadata and tests cover the check behavior.

Changes

Elastic Beanstalk secret detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture environment option settings
prowler/providers/aws/services/elasticbeanstalk/elasticbeanstalk_service.py
The Environment model stores option settings retrieved from Elastic Beanstalk configuration settings.
Scan and report configuration secrets
prowler/providers/aws/services/elasticbeanstalk/elasticbeanstalk_environment_no_secrets_in_configuration/*, prowler/changelog.d/elasticbeanstalk-environment-no-secrets.added.md
The check applies configured exclusions and validation, scans option-setting values, reports detected setting locations, and handles unavailable settings or scan errors with MANUAL results. Metadata and the changelog describe the check.
Validate check outcomes
tests/providers/aws/services/elasticbeanstalk/elasticbeanstalk_environment_no_secrets_in_configuration/*
Tests cover detected secrets, clean configurations, scan errors, missing option settings, and empty environment collections.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 104da

The new check can report PASS when Elastic Beanstalk configuration data is returned incompletely, allowing hardcoded secrets in omitted settings to go undetected. This bounded security issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Explanation

The implementation satisfies issue #11807: it scans Elastic Beanstalk environment option settings, reports PASS or FAIL without exposing secret values, uses the shared secret-scanning helper, adds option settings to the service model, defaults to High severity, and elevates validated secrets to Critical.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 22.22% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 9 functions across 3 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the check behavior, linked issue, implementation approach, and tests, but it omits the repository template sections for context, detailed review steps, checklist items, SDK or provider permission review, and license confirmation.

Resolution

Update the description to include the required template headings and information. Add context and motivation, detailed steps to review, completed checklist items, confirmation that provider permissions were reviewed, and the license confirmation.

Add coverage for validated-secret severity and value redaction.

This object-level test uses secrets_validate=False, so it does not cover secrets_validate=True behavior. Add a case with is_verified=True that asserts the finding is critical and no fixture secret value is present in the finding status.

Test unavailable configuration.

Environment.option_settings = None is the retrieval-failure state. Add a test that creates this state and asserts one MANUAL finding. This protects the configuration-retrieval contract from regression.

Hi @danibarranqueroo @HugoPBrito @pedrooot, can you please review and approve this PR? I made all the changes suggested by coderabbitai but the “Changes requested” status from coderabbitai is still showing on the PR.

… per setting

- Serialize each option setting as {OptionName: Value} so the scanner gets the
  same name context as the other secrets checks; bare values missed generic
  passwords and AWS secret keys.
- Key batch results by (environment index, option index): the same namespace
  and option name can repeat per ResourceName.
- Single report loop, MANUAL wording states the configuration could not be
  retrieved or scanned, metadata aligned with the sibling Elastic Beanstalk
  checks, changelog fragment and a real-scanner test added.
