### Description{% #description %}

Configuration Aggregators that do not collect data from all AWS Regions create cross-region blind spots, which can lead to incomplete compliance monitoring and limit forensic investigation during incidents.

For resources of type `AWS::Config::ConfigurationAggregator`, each entry in `AccountAggregationSources` and the `OrganizationAggregationSource` property must include the `AllAwsRegions` attribute set to `true`. Resources that omit aggregation sources, omit the `AllAwsRegions` key, or set `AllAwsRegions` to `false` will be flagged.

Secure configuration example (CloudFormation YAML):

```yaml
MyConfigAggregator:
  Type: AWS::Config::ConfigurationAggregator
  Properties:
    AccountAggregationSources:
      - AccountIds: ["111111111111"]
        AllAwsRegions: true
    OrganizationAggregationSource:
      RoleArn: arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/ConfigAggregatorRole
      AllAwsRegions: true
```
