For more information check:
{% content-ref url="../aws-services/aws-secrets-manager-enum.md" %}
[aws-secrets-manager-enum.md](../aws-services/aws-secrets-manager-enum.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
### Read Secrets
The **secrets themself are sensitive information**, [check the privesc page](../aws-privilege-escalation/aws-secrets-manager-privesc.md) to learn how to read them.
### DoS Change Secret Value
Changing the value of the secret you could **DoS all the system that depends on that value.**
{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that previous values are also stored, so it's easy to just go back to the previous value.
{% endhint %}
```bash
# Requires permission secretsmanager:PutSecretValue
aws secretsmanager put-secret-value \
--secret-id MyTestSecret \
--secret-string "{\"user\":\"diegor\",\"password\":\"EXAMPLE-PASSWORD\"}"
```
### DoS Change KMS key
```bash
aws secretsmanager update-secret \
--secret-id MyTestSecret \
--kms-key-id arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:123456789012:key/EXAMPLE1-90ab-cdef-fedc-ba987EXAMPLE
```
### DoS Deleting Secret
The minimum number of days to delete a secret are 7
```bash
aws secretsmanager delete-secret \
--secret-id MyTestSecret \
--recovery-window-in-days 7
```
