What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when status must equal ISSUED. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Resolve ACM certificates in PENDING_VALIDATION or FAILED state to bring them to ISSUED status. In AWS Console: ACM > Certificates > complete validation. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/dns-validation.html
Terraform
resource "aws_acm_certificate" "{name}" {
domain_name = "example.com"
validation_method = "DNS"
}
