 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [2.3.1] - 2026-05-26
+
+### Added
+
+- **DynamoDB hygiene module** - new `ddb.py` module adds 3 checks covering
+  production-baseline DynamoDB configuration. cloud-audit previously had zero
+  DynamoDB coverage across 23 services; v2.3.1 closes that gap.
+
+  - **`aws-ddb-001` - Encryption at rest visibility** (tiered severity).
+    Surfaces tables where `SSEDescription` is absent (AWS-owned default key,
+    `LOW` - encryption is on but no CloudTrail audit trail, no rotation
+    control, no incident-time revocation), `InaccessibleEncryptionDateTime`
+    is set (`CRITICAL` - CMK was disabled or access revoked, table will be
+    archived in 7 days), or `Status != ENABLED` on a steady-state table
+    (`HIGH`). AWS-managed KMS (`alias/aws/dynamodb`) and customer-managed
+    CMKs both pass. The AWS Security Hub managed standard has no equivalent
+    control; cloud-audit is more opinionated because compliance auditors
+    (SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001) typically require an auditable key.
+  - **`aws-ddb-002` - Point-in-time recovery enabled** (`MEDIUM`). Matches
+    AWS Security Hub `DynamoDB.2` severity. Without PITR, accidental drops
+    or mass conditional-update bugs are unrecoverable except from on-demand
+    backups, which require explicit scheduling.
+  - **`aws-ddb-003` - Autoscaling on PROVISIONED tables** (`MEDIUM`). Matches
+    AWS Security Hub `DynamoDB.1` severity. PROVISIONED billing with manual
+    capacity either over-provisions (cost waste, billed 24/7) or
+    under-provisions (`ProvisionedThroughputExceededException`, client
+    retries amplifying load). `PAY_PER_REQUEST` tables are skipped. Read-only
+    or write-only autoscaling registrations produce a sub-finding identifying
+    the missing dimension.
+
+  All three checks include CLI + Terraform remediation. Pagination via
+  `list_tables`. Application Auto Scaling targets are cached per-region for
+  the duration of the scan (one API call returns every DDB target in the
+  region).
+
+- **`aws-cfg-003` - AWS Config recording group complete** (`MEDIUM`). Detects
+  recorders that record only a subset of resource types - either via the
+  legacy `allSupported=false` configuration or the modern
+  `recordingStrategy.useOnly` set to `INCLUSION_BY_RESOURCE_TYPES` or
+  `EXCLUSION_BY_RESOURCE_TYPES`. Also fires when `includeGlobalResourceTypes`
+  is false, which silently drops every IAM/CloudFront/Route53 change from
+  the configuration timeline. Filters out service-linked recorders
+  (`recordingScope=INTERNAL`).
+
+- **`aws-cfg-004` - AWS Config delivery channel exists and is configured**
+  (tiered). Reports `HIGH` when a recorder exists but no delivery channel
+  is configured (snapshots and configuration history items go nowhere).
+  Reports `LOW` when the delivery channel exists but is throttled to the
+  slowest `TwentyFour_Hours` snapshot frequency, or when `s3KmsKeyArn` is
+  not set (delivery uses SSE-S3 instead of a CMK).
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`aws-s3-004` - Smarter S3 lifecycle check** (community feedback). The
+  prior check only fired when a bucket had zero lifecycle rules - which
+  missed the most expensive anti-pattern in production: a versioning-enabled
+  bucket whose lifecycle rules don't include `NoncurrentVersionExpiration`.
+  Without NCVE every object overwrite or delete retains the old version at
+  full storage rates indefinitely. The check now cross-references bucket
+  versioning state with lifecycle rules:
+
+  - Versioning `Enabled` or `Suspended` + no `NoncurrentVersionExpiration` in
+    any enabled rule -> `MEDIUM` (the storage runaway case; matches AWS
+    Security Hub `S3.10`).
+  - No enabled lifecycle on an unversioned bucket -> `LOW` (existing
+    behaviour preserved).
+  - No `AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload` rule -> `LOW` (new sub-finding;
+    orphaned multipart uploads accumulate billable storage that never
+    appears in regular object listings).
+
+  Cross-check adds one `get_bucket_versioning` call per bucket; result is
+  cached implicitly via the existing bucket-list cache pattern. Backward
+  compatible: same check ID, no behaviour change for unversioned buckets.
+
+- **`aws-cfg-001` and `aws-cfg-002` - service-linked recorder filtering**.
+  Both existing checks now filter out service-linked recorders
+  (`recordingScope=INTERNAL`), which are created by other AWS services
+  (AWS Security Hub, AWS Audit Manager) and do not replace a
+  customer-managed recorder.
+
+### Tests
+
+- 812 -> 836 (+24 net). New test files: `tests/aws/test_ddb.py` (12 tests
+  covering all four encryption states, PITR enabled/disabled, autoscaling
+  with read+write/read-only/none/pay-per-request). `tests/aws/test_config.py`
+  expanded with 8 new tests for `aws-cfg-003` and `aws-cfg-004`.
+  `tests/aws/test_s3.py` expanded with 4 new tests for the smart lifecycle
+  cross-check (versioned without NCVE, versioned with NCVE, lifecycle
+  rules-but-no-NCVE, AbortMPU missing).
+
+### Compliance
+
+Compliance framework mappings updated to cover the new check IDs:
+
+- **SOC 2 Type II**: `aws-cfg-003` and `aws-cfg-004` added to CC2.1, CC3.4,
+  CC4.1, CC7.1, CC8.1; `aws-ddb-001` mapped to CC6.1; `aws-ddb-002` mapped
+  to A1.2.
+- **HIPAA Security Rule**: `aws-cfg-003` and `aws-cfg-004` added to
+  164.308(a)(1)(i) and 164.308(a)(8); `aws-ddb-001` to 164.312(a)(2)(iv);
+  `aws-ddb-002` to 164.308(a)(7)(i).
+- **ISO/IEC 27001:2022**: `aws-cfg-003` and `aws-cfg-004` added to A.5.9,
+  A.5.23, A.5.36, A.8.9, A.8.32; `aws-ddb-001` to A.8.24; `aws-ddb-002` to
+  A.8.13.
+- **NIS2 Directive**: `aws-cfg-003` and `aws-cfg-004` added to NIS2-RM-01b,
+  NIS2-RM-05, NIS2-RM-05b, NIS2-RM-06, NIS2-RM-06b, NIS2-GOV-01;
+  `aws-ddb-001` to NIS2-RM-05b.
+- **BSI C5:2020**: `aws-cfg-003` and `aws-cfg-004` added to AM-01, OPS-14,
+  COS-07, COS-08, INQ-03; `aws-ddb-001` to CRY-04; `aws-ddb-002` to OPS-06.
+- **CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark v3.0.0**: `aws-cfg-003` and `aws-cfg-004`
+  added to control 3.3. CIS v3.0.0 has no DynamoDB controls; the gap is
+  documented honestly rather than invented.
+
+### Acknowledgments
+
+These improvements were prompted by feedback received via community channels.
+
+### Also in this release (carried over from prior unreleased work)
+
+- **GitHub Action hardening** - `action.yml` now pins cloud-audit to a specific
+  PyPI version via the new `cloud-audit-version` input (default tracks the
+  action's release tag). Previously installed unpinned `cloud-audit` latest,
+  which made builds non-reproducible. Version string is validated against
+  `[0-9A-Za-z.+-]` before being passed to `pip install`.
+
+- **GitHub Action shell injection prevention** - all `run:` blocks moved from
+  direct `${{ inputs.* }}` interpolation to env-var pattern (`env:` map +
+  bash arrays). `extra-args`, `regions`, `output`, and `diff-baseline` are
+  now passed as argv entries to `cloud-audit`, not concatenated into shell
+  strings. A malicious workflow author can still pass odd flag values but
+  cannot break out of the cloud-audit invocation.
+
+- **README polish** - dropped promotional "first/only" wording in three
+  places (blast-radius section, AI-SPM row, IAM Privilege Escalation row).
+  PMapper row reframed from "this is its open-source replacement" to a
+  factual statement of PMapper's last release date and cloud-audit's
+  distinct scope. Honest tone over marketing tone.
+
+- **README Prowler comparison refreshed** - 572 checks / 83 services / 41
+  frameworks updated to 600 / 84 / 44 (verified against
+  github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler on 2026-05-25). Dropped unsubstantiated
+  "55 fixers" reference and "10+ providers" puffery. Footnote datestamp
+  changed from "April 2026" to "2026-05-25".
+
+- **README broken links fixed** - two relative links to
+  `docs/features/blast-radius.md` (gitignored - the file is published only
+  via the docs site, not committed to git) replaced with absolute URLs
+  pointing at `https://haitmg.pl/cloud-audit/features/blast-radius/`.
+
+- **docs/features/blast-radius.md** - same "first pure-CLI open-source"
+  wording softened to "aims to be a lightweight CLI-native alternative".
+
+- **SECURITY.md supported versions matrix** - stale `1.1.x` / `1.2.x` rows
+  replaced with `2.3.x` (current) / `2.2.x` (security fixes only) / `< 2.2`
+  (no). The matrix had not been touched since the v1.x line was current.

+Boardroom mode (`?board=1` on any scenario) renders the same graph as a CFO/CISO briefing with the dollar exposure, time-to-detect, and recommended fix surfaced as 3 big tiles - click *"What stops this attack?"* and the exposure tile animates to $0.

 ## What's Next
 
 - Multi-account scanning (AWS Organizations)
 - SCP + permission boundary evaluation in IAM escalation
 - Terraform drift detection
+- Security Graph v3.0.0 (network reachability, cross-account propagation, permission-boundary semantics)
