Code samples with security vulnerabilities¶

Positive test num. 1 - tf file

resource "aws_api_gateway_domain_name" "example" {
  certificate_body = file("./rsa1024.pem")
  domain_name     = "api.example.com"
}

Positive test num. 2 - tf file

resource "aws_iam_server_certificate" "test_cert2" {
  name             = "some_test_cert"
  certificate_body = file("./rsa1024.pem")
  private_key      = <<EOF
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[......] # cert contents
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
EOF
}

Code samples without security vulnerabilities¶
