However, using an access policy at entity (Queue/Topic) level provides access only to the specific entity. Thus using the latter is inline with the principle of least privilege.", "Recommendation": "Remove all the authorization rules from Service Bus namespace except RootManageSharedAccessKey using Remove-AzureRmEventHubAuthorizationRule command. Run 'Get-Help Remove-AzureRmEventHubAuthorizationRule -full' for more help. Use the Azure portal to configure shared access policies with appropriate claims at the specific Event Hub scope.", "Tags": [ "SDL", "TCP", "Automated", "AuthZ" ], "Enabled": true, "DataObjectProperties": [ "Id", "Rights" ] }, { "ControlID": "Azure_EventHub_AuthZ_Use_Min_Permissions_Access_Policies", "Description": "Access policies must be defined with minimum required permissions to the Event Hub", "Id": "EventHub140", "ControlSeverity": "Medium", "Automated": "Yes", "MethodName": "CheckEventHubAuthorizationRule", "Rationale": "Granting minimum access ensures that users are granted just enough permissions to perform their tasks. This minimizes the set of operations that can be preformed on the resource by an attacker in case of access policy key compromise.", "Recommendation": "Ensure that client apps use shared access policies with the least required privilege and at the Event Hub scope. For instance, if the client app is only reading events from the event hub (as opposed to sending), then the policy used must only include the 'Listen' claim.

This minimizes the risk of data loss from physical theft and also helps meet regulatory compliance requirements.", "Recommendation": "Access policy keys must be handled in a secure manner. E.g., Access policy keys can be stored in the application settings on the Azure portal for a Web App, or can be stored in a Key Vault. The approach to protect the key may vary based on the Azure feature and scenario from where Event Hubs are consumed.", "Tags": [ "SDL", "TCP", "Manual", "DP" ], "Enabled": true }, { "ControlID": "Azure_EventHub_DP_Rotate_Keys", "Description": "Access policy keys must be rotated periodically", "Id": "EventHub160", "ControlSeverity": "Medium", "Automated": "No", "MethodName": "", "Rationale": "Periodic key/password rotation is a good security hygiene practice as, over time, it minimizes the likelihood of data loss/compromise which can arise from key theft/brute forcing/recovery attacks.", "Recommendation": "Use New-AzureRmEventHubKey -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -Namespace <NamespaceName> -EventHub <EventHubName> -Name <AuthorizationRuleName> -RegenerateKey PrimaryKey/SecondaryKey to regenerate Event Hub key. Use New-AzureRmEventHubKey -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -Namespace <NamespaceName> -Name <AuthorizationRuleName> -RegenerateKeys PrimaryKey/SecondaryKey to regenerate namespace key.

Minimizing the validity period of the SAS token ensures that the window of time available to an attacker in the event of compromise is minimized.", "Recommendation": "Set expiry time of SAS tokens to the minimum required in context of the scenario.

Individual time-bound SAS tokens can be created via inheritance from a shared policy so the damage from compromise of any single token is contained. Also, all publisher tokens generated by same policy can be decommisioned by simply decommisioning the corresponding access policy.", "Recommendation": "Generate 'Publisher' tokens by combining an access policy that has 'Send' claim with an event publisher ID for each publisher. Using this mechanism each publisher will be able to send to only its own virtual endpoint.

This minimizes exposure of the resources in case of user/service account compromise.", "Recommendation": "Administrator should assign 'Owner' role to Event Hub at the 'resource' scope. Application developers should not have direct access to the Event Hub resource (they should just be provided the required shared access policy for a non-production event hub).
