How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/CyberStrikeus/CyberStrike/blob/HEAD/.cyberstrike/skill/CIS_benchmarks/Cloud_Providers/Microsoft_Azure/CIS_Microsoft_Azure_Compute_Services_Benchmark_v2.0.0/cis-azure-compute-2.3.8/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/cis-azure-compute-2-3-8, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

Ensure end-to-end TLS encryption is enabled

Description

End-to-end (E2E) TLS encryption ensures that front-end to worker communication within function apps is encrypted using TLS. Without this feature, while incoming HTTPS requests are encrypted to the front ends, the traffic from front ends to workers running the application workloads would travel unencrypted inside Azure's infrastructure.

Rationale

E2E TLS helps ensure full encryption of traffic between:

  • Clients and front ends
  • Front ends and worker processes hosting the application

Impact

Enabling end-to-end TLS encryption may introduce minimal latency and require additional configuration of certificates and HTTPS settings to ensure compatibility.

Audit Procedure

Using Azure CLI

Run the following command to list function apps:

az functionapp list

For each function app, run the following command to get the end-to-end TLS encryption setting:

az functionapp show --resource-group <resource-group-name> --name <function-app-name> --query endToEndEncryptionEnabled

Ensure that the command returns true.

Using Azure Portal

There is no Azure Portal audit procedure documented for this control. Use the Azure CLI or Azure Policy methods.

Expected Result

The endToEndEncryptionEnabled setting should return true.

Remediation

Using Azure CLI

For each function app requiring remediation, run the following command to enable end-to-end TLS encryption:

az resource update --resource-group <resource-group-name> --name <function-app-name> --resource-type "Microsoft.Web/sites" --set properties.endToEndEncryptionEnabled=true

Using Azure Portal

There is no Azure Portal remediation procedure documented for this control. Use the Azure CLI method.

Default Value

By default, end-to-end TLS encryption is disabled.
