173 Undocumented Security Findings in TerraGoat: What Standard IaC Scanners Miss (and Why Post-Quantum Matters)
A recent study on TerraGoat, a vulnerable Terraform repository, revealed 173 undocumented security findings that standard IaC scanners miss. The research highlights the limitations of popular tools like Checkov and Trivy, which only captured a fraction of the actual vulnerabilities present. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of addressing cryptographic exposure in the context of post-quantum threats.
- ▪TerraGoat is maintained by Bridgecrew and serves as a benchmark for validating IaC scanners.
- ▪Checkov identified 56 findings, all of which were documented, while Trivy found 125 undocumented vulnerabilities.
- ▪The pq-audit tool detected two unique cryptographic vulnerabilities that neither Checkov nor Trivy identified.
