CodeBuild project environments should not have privileged mode enabled¶

This control checks if an AWS CodeBuild project environment has privileged mode enabled. This control fails when an AWS CodeBuild project environment has privileged mode enabled.

How to fix¶

Attribute environment[0].privileged_mode of aws_codebuild_project must be false.

Implementation options¶

Choose the option that matches how you manage Terraform. All options satisfy this control.

Option 1: Terraform AWS provider resources¶

If you manage resources directly, configure the relevant Terraform AWS provider resources to meet this control. See docs for the resources involved: aws_codebuild_project.

resource "aws_codebuild_project" "this" {
  artifacts {
    type = "NO_ARTIFACTS"
  }

  logs_config {
    cloudwatch_logs {
      status = "ENABLED"
    }
  }

  name         = "pofix-example-build"
  service_role = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/example-role"

  source {
    buildspec = "version: 0.2\nphases:\n  build:\n    commands:\n      - echo hello"
    type      = "NO_SOURCE"
  }

  environment {
    compute_type    = "BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL"
    image           = "aws/codebuild/amazonlinux2-x86_64-standard:5.0"
    privileged_mode = false
    type            = "LINUX_CONTAINER"
  }
}
