What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when environment.privilegedMode must equal false. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Disable privileged mode unless Docker builds require it to prevent full host access. In AWS Console: CodeBuild > Build projects > Edit > Environment > uncheck Privileged. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/change-project-console.html
Terraform
resource "aws_codebuild_project" "{name}" {
environment {
privileged_mode = false
}
}
