Overview

CloudAudit is an enterprise-grade cloud storage security posture auditing framework. It automatically discovers, crawls, and analyses publicly exposed cloud storage containers — AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, open directory listings — to identify secret leakage, credential exposure, compliance gaps, and misconfigurations before attackers do.

CloudAudit is designed for defensive internal use only. Every design decision prioritises safety:

Read-only by architecture: The HTTP client exposes only GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS. PUT and DELETE do not exist.
Ownership-gated: The engine refuses to start without explicit --confirm-ownership and --org-name flags.
Secrets never stored raw: All pattern matches are redacted before being written to findings or transmitted to AI providers.
No exploitation guidance: AI providers are explicitly prompted to produce only defensive remediation recommendations.

Installation

Requirements

Python 3.11+
pip

git clone https://github.com/xtawb/cloudaudit
cd cloudaudit
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

Optional Dependencies

pip install google-genai # Google Gemini AI (modern SDK)
pip install openai # OpenAI GPT / DeepSeek (OpenAI-compatible)
pip install anthropic # Anthropic Claude
pip install Pillow # Image EXIF metadata analysis
pip install cryptography # Encrypted local API key storage
pip install py7zr # 7-Zip archive extraction

Configuration

Secure API Key Management

# Store encrypted API key interactively
cloudaudit config --set-api gemini
# List all configured providers
cloudaudit config --list-providers
# Remove a stored key
cloudaudit config --remove-api openai

Keys are stored encrypted at ~/.cloudaudit/config.enc using Fernet (AES-128-CBC + HMAC-SHA256). The encryption key is derived via PBKDF2-SHA256 with 100,000 iterations from a per-installation random salt.

Alternatively, set environment variables:

Provider	Environment Variable
Gemini	`GEMINI_API_KEY`
OpenAI	`OPENAI_API_KEY`
Claude	`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
DeepSeek	`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`

High-Entropy String Detection

Uses Shannon entropy analysis to catch secrets not matching known formats:

Sliding-window token analysis, minimum 16 characters
Default entropy threshold: 4.5 bits/character (configurable with --min-entropy)
False-positive filter: MD5/SHA1/SHA256 hashes, UUIDs, pure numeric, ISO dates, URLs
Character class gate: requires at least 2 of {uppercase, lowercase, digit, special}

AI Semantic Analysis

AI analysis triggers selectively for high-value files (.env, config.*, credentials, .pem, settings.py, application.yml, terraform.tfstate, .aws/, .ssh/, etc.). Content is sanitised before transmission:

Base64 strings >=40 chars are truncated to first 8 chars
PEM blocks are replaced with [REDACTED]
AI findings are labelled [AI] with a maximum 95% confidence cap

Risk Scoring v2

raw = sum(severity_weight × category_multiplier for each finding)
score = 10 × (1 - exp(-raw / 8)) # soft exponential cap at 10

Severity	Weight	Category	Multiplier
Critical	4.0	Secret Exposure	1.5x
High	2.0	Credential File	1.4x
Medium	0.8	PII Exposure	1.2x
Low	0.2	Public Access	0.9x

Override: Any cloud credential finding (AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub) forces minimum score of 8.5.

Compliance Mapping

Framework	Covered Controls
CIS Benchmarks	2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.1.5
NIST 800-53	SC-7, IA-5, AU-12
SOC 2	CC6.1, CC6.7, CC7.2
PCI-DSS	Req 1.3, Req 3
ISO 27001	A.9.4, A.10.1

Security Design

Operation	Status
HTTP PUT / DELETE	Not implemented — methods do not exist in HTTPClient
Exploitation guidance	Blocked at AI prompt level
Raw secret storage	Never — redacted before any write operation
External telemetry	None
API key logging	Never

Auto-Update System

CloudAudit checks GitHub releases at startup:

A new version is available (v1.0.2).
Do you want to update now? [Y/n]:

Network failures are silent and non-fatal
On decline: continues execution with current version
On accept: pip upgrade from GitHub, confirms success
On update failure: reports error, continues running

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md for full version history.

Roadmap

AWS SDK bucket policy and ACL inspection
SARIF output format for GitHub Advanced Security
Jira/ServiceNow automatic ticket creation
Multi-bucket batch scanning mode
Docker image layer scanning

Legal Notice

CloudAudit is intended for use only on cloud storage resources you own or have explicit written authorisation to audit. Unauthorised scanning is illegal under the CFAA (US), Computer Misuse Act (UK), and equivalent laws worldwide.

By using --confirm-ownership, you declare that you are authorised to audit the target resource and accept full legal responsibility for your use of this tool.
