1. Open the AWS Management Console and navigate to the EC2 dashboard.
2. Click on “Load Balancers” in the left-hand menu.
3. Select the ELB for which you want to remediate this misconfiguration.
4. Click on the “Listeners” tab in the bottom pane.
5. Identify the listener that is using an invalid HTTP header and click on the “Edit” button for that listener.
6. Scroll down to the “HTTP Headers” section and click on the “Add” button.
7. In the “Name” field, enter the name of the invalid HTTP header that you want to drop.
8. In the “Value” field, enter the value of the invalid HTTP header that you want to drop.
9. Click on the “Save” button to save the changes.
10. Repeat steps 5-9 for any other listeners that are using invalid HTTP headers.
11. Once you have remediated all the invalid HTTP headers, click on the “Save” button to save the changes to the ELB.

1. Open the AWS CLI and run the following command to list all the load balancers in your AWS account:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   aws elbv2 describe-load-balancers
   

2. Identify the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the load balancer that you want to remediate.
3. Run the following command to update the load balancer attributes and drop invalid HTTP headers:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   aws elbv2 modify-load-balancer-attributes --load-balancer-arn <load_balancer_arn> --attributes Key=http2.dropped_headers,Value=HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
   

   Note: Replace <load_balancer_arn> with the ARN of the load balancer identified in step 2.
4. Verify that the invalid HTTP headers are dropped by running the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   aws elbv2 describe-load-balancer-attributes --load-balancer-arn <load_balancer_arn>
   

   Note: Replace <load_balancer_arn> with the ARN of the load balancer identified in step 2. This command will return the load balancer attributes, including the dropped HTTP headers.

1. Import the boto3 library to interact with AWS services using python.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   import boto3
   

2. Create a boto3 client for the Elastic Load Balancing service.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   elb_client = boto3.client('elbv2')
   

3. Get a list of all the load balancers in your AWS account.
   Copy

   Ask AI

   response = elb_client.describe_load_balancers()
   load_balancers = response['LoadBalancers']
   

4. For each load balancer, check if the “http.headers” attribute is set to “drop.invalid.header.fields”. If it is not, update the attribute to “drop.invalid.header.fields”.

   for lb in load_balancers:
       lb_arn = lb['LoadBalancerArn']
       lb_attributes = elb_client.describe_load_balancer_attributes(LoadBalancerArn=lb_arn)
       lb_http_headers = lb_attributes['Attributes'][0]
       if lb_http_headers['Key'] == 'http.headers':
           if lb_http_headers['Value'] != 'drop.invalid.header.fields':
               elb_client.modify_load_balancer_attributes(
                   LoadBalancerArn=lb_arn,
                   Attributes=[
                       {
                           'Key': 'http.headers',
                           'Value': 'drop.invalid.header.fields'
                       }
                   ]
               )
   

5. Once the “http.headers” attribute is updated for all the load balancers, the misconfiguration “ELBs Should Drop Invalid HTTP Header” will be remediated.
