A few notes on AWS Nitro Enclaves: KMS integration
AWS Nitro Enclaves' integration with Key Management Service (KMS) introduces significant security considerations beyond standard cryptographic implementation, including passive attacks via data swaps and CMK substitution, and active attacks exploiting unencrypted communication channels. The article provides comprehensive threat modeling guidance covering authentication mechanisms, encryption context usage, key policy configuration, and operational risks like key rotation and regional outages. Developers must implement enclave-initiated TLS, harden KMS policies with PCR attestations, and avoid the vulnerable aws-nitro-enclaves-sdk-c library in favor of alternatives like aws-nitro-enclaves-nsm-api combined with Boto3.

CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog
CISA has added CVE-2026-21962, an improper access control vulnerability affecting Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Weblogic Server Proxy Plug-in, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog based on confirmed active exploitation. The vulnerability poses significant risk as it allows total asset compromise post-exploitation, and CISA's Binding Operational Directive 26-04 requires federal agencies to prioritize rapid remediation of such high-risk KEV Catalog entries on publicly exposed systems. CISA encourages all organizations to adopt risk-based vulnerability management practices and prioritize remediation of cataloged exploited vulnerabilities.
