Check CDK applications or CloudFormation templates for best practices using a combination of available rule packs. Inspired by cfn_nag
See RULES for more information on all the available packs.
Read the NagPack developer docs if you are interested in creating your own pack.

}
}Example 2) Child Constructs

import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';
export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {

If you received the following error on synth/deploy
[Error at /StackName/Custom::CDKBucketDeployment8675309/ServiceRole/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM4: The IAM user, role, or group uses AWS managed policiesimport { Bucket } from '@aws-cdk/aws-s3';
import { BucketDeployment } from '@aws-cdk/aws-s3-deployment';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';
import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';
export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
super(scope, id, props);
new BucketDeployment(this, 'rDeployment', {
sources: [],
destinationBucket: Bucket.fromBucketName(this, 'rBucket', 'foo'),

NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressionsByPath(
this,

[{ id: 'AwsSolutions-IAM4', reason: 'at least 10 characters' }]
);
}
}Example 5) Granular Suppressions of findings
Certain rules support granular suppressions of findings. If you received the following errors on synth/deploy
[Error at /StackName/rFirstUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Action::s3:*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.
[Error at /StackName/rFirstUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Resource::*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.
[Error at /StackName/rSecondUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Action::s3:*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.
[Error at /StackName/rSecondUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Resource::*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.By applying the following suppressions
import { User } from '@aws-cdk/aws-iam';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';
import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';
export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
super(scope, id, props);
const firstUser = new User(this, 'rFirstUser');
firstUser.addToPolicy(
new PolicyStatement({
actions: ['s3:*'],
resources: ['*'],
})
);
const secondUser = new User(this, 'rSecondUser');
secondUser.addToPolicy(
new PolicyStatement({
actions: ['s3:*'],
resources: ['*'],
})
);
const thirdUser = new User(this, 'rSecondUser');
thirdUser.addToPolicy(
new PolicyStatement({
actions: ['sqs:CreateQueue'],
resources: [`arn:aws:sqs:${this.region}:${this.account}:*`],
})
);
NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(
firstUser,
[
{
id: 'AwsSolutions-IAM5',
reason:
"Only suppress AwsSolutions-IAM5 's3:*' finding on First User.",
appliesTo: ['Action::s3:*'],
},
],
true
);
NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(
secondUser,
[
{
id: 'AwsSolutions-IAM5',
reason: 'Suppress all AwsSolutions-IAM5 findings on Second User.',
},
],
true
);
NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(
thirdUser,
[
{
id: 'AwsSolutions-IAM5',
reason: 'Suppress AwsSolutions-IAM5 on the SQS resource.',
appliesTo: [
{
regex: '/^Resource::arn:aws:sqs:(.*):\\*$/g',
},
],
},
],
true
);
}
}You would see the following error on synth/deploy
[Error at /StackName/rFirstUser/DefaultPolicy/Resource] AwsSolutions-IAM5[Resource::*]: The IAM entity contains wildcard permissions and does not have a cdk_nag rule suppression with evidence for those permission.In some cases L2 Constructs do not have a native option to remediate an issue and must be fixed via Raw Overrides. Since raw overrides take place after template synthesis these fixes are not caught by the cdk_nag. In this case you should remediate the issue and suppress the issue like in the following example.
Example) Property Overrides
import {
Instance,
InstanceType,
InstanceClass,
MachineImage,
Vpc,
CfnInstance,
} from '@aws-cdk/aws-ec2';
import { Construct, Stack, StackProps } from '@aws-cdk/core';
import { NagSuppressions } from 'cdk-nag';
export class CdkTestStack extends Stack {
constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props?: StackProps) {
super(scope, id, props);
const instance = new Instance(this, 'rInstance', {
vpc: new Vpc(this, 'rVpc'),
instanceType: new InstanceType(InstanceClass.T3),
machineImage: MachineImage.latestAmazonLinux(),
});
const cfnIns = instance.node.defaultChild as CfnInstance;
cfnIns.addPropertyOverride('DisableApiTermination', true);
NagSuppressions.addResourceSuppressions(instance, [
{
id: 'AwsSolutions-EC29',
reason: 'Remediated through property override.',
},
]);
}
}You can use cdk-nag on existing CloudFormation templates by using the cloudformation-include module.
