info:
  name: EKS Kubernetes Secrets not Encrypted
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Ensure that your Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters have encryption enabled for Kubernetes secrets using AWS KMS Customer Master Keys (CMKs). This is a security best practice for protecting sensitive data stored in Kubernetes secrets.
  impact: |
    Without encryption enabled, Kubernetes secrets are stored in plaintext, making them vulnerable to unauthorized access and potentially violating compliance requirements for data-at-rest encryption.
  remediation: |
    Enable encryption for your EKS cluster by creating a KMS CMK and configuring it for the cluster. Note that this requires recreating the cluster with the encryption configuration.
