What CGPulse checks

A resource passes this rule when enabledState must equal Enabled. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.

How to fix it

Enable the Front Door resource to resume processing requests. In Azure Portal: Front Door > Overview > set Enabled state to Enabled. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/front-door-overview

CLI

az afd endpoint update --ids "{id}" --enabled-state Enabled

Terraform

resource "azurerm_frontdoor" "{name}" {
  name                = "{name}"
  resource_group_name = "{rg}"
  # Front Door is enabled by default when the resource exists
  # Set enforce_backend_pools_certificate_name_check as needed
  routing_rule         { }
  backend_pool         { }
  frontend_endpoint    { }
  backend_pool_health_probe   { }
  backend_pool_load_balancing { }
}
