Usage

cdk

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
from aws_cdk.core import App, Aspects
from ...lib.cdk_test_stack import CdkTestStack
from cdk_nag import AwsSolutionsChecks

app = App()
CdkTestStack(app, "CdkNagDemo")
# Simple rule informational messages
Aspects.of(app).add(AwsSolutionsChecks())

monocdk

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
from monocdk import App, Aspects
from ...lib.my_stack import CdkTestStack
from monocdk_nag import AwsSolutionsChecks

app = App()
CdkTestStack(app, "CdkNagDemo")
# Simple rule informational messages
Aspects.of(app).add(AwsSolutionsChecks())

Suppressing a Rule

Example 1) Default Construct

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
from aws_cdk.aws_ec2 import SecurityGroup, Vpc, Peer, Port
from aws_cdk.core import Construct, Stack, StackProps
from cdk_nag import NagSuppressions

class CdkTestStack(Stack):
    def __init__(self, scope, id, *, description=None, env=None, stackName=None, tags=None, synthesizer=None, terminationProtection=None, analyticsReporting=None):
        super().__init__(scope, id, description=description, env=env, stackName=stackName, tags=tags, synthesizer=synthesizer, terminationProtection=terminationProtection, analyticsReporting=analyticsReporting)
        test = SecurityGroup(self, "test",
            vpc=Vpc(self, "vpc")
        )
        test.add_ingress_rule(Peer.any_ipv4(), Port.all_traffic())
        NagSuppressions.add_resource_suppressions(test, [id="AwsSolutions-EC23", reason="lorem ipsum"
        ])

Example 2) Child Constructs

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
from aws_cdk.aws_iam import User, PolicyStatement
from aws_cdk.core import Construct, Stack, StackProps
from cdk_nag import NagSuppressions

class CdkTestStack(Stack):
    def __init__(self, scope, id, *, description=None, env=None, stackName=None, tags=None, synthesizer=None, terminationProtection=None, analyticsReporting=None):
        super().__init__(scope, id, description=description, env=env, stackName=stackName, tags=tags, synthesizer=synthesizer, terminationProtection=terminationProtection, analyticsReporting=analyticsReporting)
        user = User(self, "rUser")
        user.add_to_policy(
            PolicyStatement(
                actions=["s3:PutObject"],
                resources=["arn:aws:s3:::bucket_name/*"]
            ))
        # Enable adding suppressions to child constructs
        NagSuppressions.add_resource_suppressions(user, [{"id": "AwsSolutions-IAM5", "reason": "lorem ipsum"}], True)

Example 3) Stack Level

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
from aws_cdk.core import App, Aspects
from ...lib.cdk_test_stack import CdkTestStack
from cdk_nag import AwsSolutionsChecks, NagSuppressions

app = App()
stack = CdkTestStack(app, "CdkNagDemo")
Aspects.of(app).add(AwsSolutionsChecks())
NagSuppressions.add_stack_suppressions(stack, [id="AwsSolutions-EC23", reason="lorem ipsum"
])

Rules and Property Overrides

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

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
from aws_cdk.aws_ec2 import Instance, InstanceType, InstanceClass, MachineImage, Vpc, CfnInstance
from aws_cdk.core import Construct, Stack, StackProps
from cdk_nag import NagSuppressions

class CdkTestStack(Stack):
    def __init__(self, scope, id, *, description=None, env=None, stackName=None, tags=None, synthesizer=None, terminationProtection=None, analyticsReporting=None):
        super().__init__(scope, id, description=description, env=env, stackName=stackName, tags=tags, synthesizer=synthesizer, terminationProtection=terminationProtection, analyticsReporting=analyticsReporting)
        instance = Instance(self, "rInstance",
            vpc=Vpc(self, "rVpc"),
            instance_type=InstanceType(InstanceClass.T3),
            machine_image=MachineImage.latest_amazon_linux()
        )
        cfn_ins = instance.node.default_child
        cfn_ins.add_property_override("DisableApiTermination", True)
        NagSuppressions.add_resource_suppressions(instance, [
            id="AwsSolutions-EC29",
            reason="Remediated through property override."

        ])
