What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when timeout must be greater than 3. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Review Lambda function timeouts and set API-driven functions to short timeouts to prevent hanging connections. In AWS Console: Lambda > Functions > Configuration > General > Timeout. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-function-common.html
Terraform
resource "aws_lambda_function" "{name}" {
timeout = 3 # Short timeout for API-driven functions
}
