Overview

Application Load Balancer (ALB) is AWS's managed layer-7 load balancer that distributes HTTP/HTTPS requests to backend targets and supports features such as path-based routing, TLS termination, and integrated security capabilities like WAF logs. Its position at the ingress edge makes it a high-value attack surface; vulnerabilities or misconfigurations can expose services or enable exploitation, underscoring the need for timely patching and monitoring. The referenced CVE-2025-55182 highlights a recent ALB-related security issue requiring incident response and remediation.
