What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when name must be set true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Deploy WAFv2 web ACLs and associate with internet-facing resources (ALB, CloudFront, API Gateway). In AWS Console: WAF > Web ACLs > Create > associate. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/web-acl.html
Terraform
resource "aws_wafv2_web_acl" "{name}" {
scope = "REGIONAL"
default_action {
allow {}
}
visibility_config {
sampled_requests_enabled = true
}
}
