'description': 'LocalStack (localstack.cloud / github.com/localstack/localstack) is a local AWS cloud-service emulator widely used in development and CI. It typically listens on TCP 4566 and exposes an unauthenticated /_localstack/health endpoint that lists every emulated service and its enabled state. An exposed LocalStack on a non-loopback interface gives an attacker a fully-functional fake AWS account, including S3, SQS, IAM, SecretsManager and Lambda execution.',
