Ensure CloudFront distributions have custom error pages configured
Custom error pages prevent exposure of technical error details and provide better user experience during errors or maintenance.
Security Impact
Default error pages may reveal technology stack, origin details, and other information useful for reconnaissance.
How to Remediate
Configure custom error responses for 4xx and 5xx errors to serve user-friendly pages that don't reveal infrastructure details.
