What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when endpointType must equal VPC. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Configure a VPC endpoint to restrict Transfer Family access to within the VPC. In AWS Console: Transfer Family > Servers > Edit > set Endpoint type to VPC. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transfer/latest/userguide/create-server-in-vpc.html
Terraform
resource "aws_transfer_server" "{name}" {
endpoint_type = "VPC"
endpoint_details {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.{name}.id
}
}
