EC2 user data exposes secrets
Resource: AWS | Bridgecrew ID: BC_AWS_SECRETS_1 | Checkov ID: CKV_AWS_46
Description
**User Data** is a metadata field of an EC2 instance that allows custom code to run after the instance is launched. It contains code exposed to any entity which has the most basic access to EC2, even read-only configurations. This code is not encrypted.Removing secrets from easily-accessed unencrypted places reduces the risk of passwords, private keys and more from being exposed to third parties.
