Security best practices for AWS Lambda functions (IAM, timeouts, environment).

Description

This plugin provides Security best practices for AWS Lambda functions (IAM, timeouts, environment). By using this plugin, you can proactively identify and mitigate security risks across your entire codebase.

Philosophy

Interlace fosters strength through integration. Instead of stacking isolated rules, we interlace security directly into your workflow to create a resilient fabric of code. We believe tools should guide rather than gatekeep, providing educational feedback that strengthens the developer with every interaction.

💡 What you get

• Serverless-focused coverage: 5 rules targeting Lambda-specific vulnerabilities (credentials, CORS, secrets, logging).
• LLM-optimized & MCP-ready: Structured 2-line messages with CWE + OWASP + CVSS + concrete fixes so humans and AI auto-fixers stay aligned.
• Standards aligned: OWASP Serverless Top 10, CWE tagging, CVSS scoring in every finding for compliance mapping.
• Tiered presets: recommended, strict for fast policy rollout.
• Framework-aware: Detects Middy middleware, API Gateway response patterns, AWS SDK v3 clients.
• Low false positive rate: Context-aware detection with production heuristics.

Every security rule produces a structured 2-line error message:

src/handlers/api.ts
  18:5   error  🔒 CWE-798 OWASP:SAS-2 CVSS:9.8 | Hardcoded AWS credentials detected | CRITICAL [SOC2,PCI-DSS]
                    Fix: Use credential provider chain or Lambda execution role | https://owasp.org/...

Each message includes:

• 🔒 CWE reference - vulnerability classification
• 📋 OWASP category - Serverless Top 10 mapping
• 📊 CVSS score - severity rating (0.0-10.0)
• 🏢 Compliance tags - affected frameworks (SOC2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA)
• ✅ Fix instruction - exact code to write
• 📚 Documentation link - learn more

⚙️ Configuration Options

All rules accept these common options:

{
  rules: {
    'lambda-security/no-hardcoded-credentials-sdk': ['error', {
      allowInTests: true // Default: true - skip test files
    }],
    'lambda-security/no-secrets-in-env': ['error', {
      allowInTests: true,
      additionalPatterns: ['CUSTOM_SECRET_*'] // Additional patterns to detect
    }]
  }
}
