Mq automatic minor version upgrade enabled remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of having MQ Automatic Minor Version Upgrades enabled for AWS Security Groups using AWS CLI, you can follow these steps:

Identify the AWS Security Group associated with your MQ service:
- You can use the following AWS CLI command to list all the security groups associated with your MQ service:
  aws mq describe-broker --broker-id <your-broker-id> --query 'BrokerInstances[0].SecurityGroups'
Update the Security Group to block all outbound traffic to the internet:
- Use the following AWS CLI command to update the outbound rules of the Security Group associated with your MQ service to block all traffic to 0.0.0.0/0:
  aws ec2 revoke-security-group-egress --group-id <your-security-group-id> --protocol all --port all --cidr 0.0.0.0/0
Verify the changes:
- You can verify that the outbound rules have been updated successfully by describing the Security Group:
  aws ec2 describe-security-groups --group-ids <your-security-group-id>
Disable Automatic Minor Version Upgrades for your MQ Broker:
- Use the following AWS CLI command to update your MQ Broker configuration and disable Automatic Minor Version Upgrades:
  aws mq update-broker --broker-id <your-broker-id> --auto-minor-version-upgrade false
Verify the changes:
- You can verify that the Automatic Minor Version Upgrades setting has been disabled by describing the broker configuration:
  aws mq describe-broker --broker-id <your-broker-id> --query 'BrokerInstances[0].AutoMinorVersionUpgrade'

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of having MQ Automatic Minor Version Upgrades enabled for AWS Security Groups using AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of MQ having automatic minor version upgrades enabled for AWS Security Groups using Python, you can follow these steps:

Install Boto3: Ensure that you have Boto3 installed in your Python environment. Boto3 is the AWS SDK for Python that allows you to interact with AWS services.

pip install boto3

Write Python Script: Create a Python script that will disable automatic minor version upgrades for the MQ broker in the specified security group. Here is an example script to achieve this:

import boto3

# Initialize the MQ client
client = boto3.client('mq')

# Specify the security group ID of the MQ broker
security_group_id = 'YOUR_SECURITY_GROUP_ID'

# Disable automatic minor version upgrades for the specified MQ broker
response = client.update_broker(
    BrokerId='YOUR_BROKER_ID',
    Configuration={
        'Id': 'autoMinorVersionUpgrade',
        'Value': 'false'
    }
)

print("Automatic minor version upgrades disabled for the MQ broker in the specified security group.")

Replace the placeholders:
- Replace YOUR_SECURITY_GROUP_ID with the actual Security Group ID where the MQ broker is deployed.
- Replace YOUR_BROKER_ID with the ID of the MQ broker for which you want to disable automatic minor version upgrades.
Run the Script: Execute the Python script to disable automatic minor version upgrades for the specified MQ broker in the Security Group.

python remediate_mq_auto_minor_version_upgrade.py

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of MQ having automatic minor version upgrades enabled for AWS Security Groups using Python.
