Description

The use of IMDSv2, the enhanced version of the Instance Metadata Service, is not enforced on the EC2 instance {AwsEc2Instance} ({AwsEc2Instance.InstanceId}). IMDSv2 solves a lot of security issues in the original version (IMDSv1) by using session-based authentication. If an instance is still using IMDSv1, malicious actors can use compromised applications running inside it to gain unauthorized access to the metadata service.
