CFRipper – CloudFormation Security Scanning & Audit Tool

January 24, 2022

Views: 5,544

CFRipper is a Python-based Library and CLI security analyzer that functions as an AWS CloudFormation security scanning and audit tool, it aims to prevent vulnerabilities from getting to production infrastructure through vulnerable CloudFormation scripts.

CFRipper - CloudFormation Security Scanning & Audit Tool

You can use CFRipper to prevent deploying insecure AWS resources into your Cloud environment. You can write your own compliance checks by adding new custom plugins.

CFRipper should be part of your CI/CD pipeline. It runs just before a CloudFormation stack is deployed or updated and if the CloudFormation script fails to pass the security check it fails the deployment and notifies the team that owns the stack. Rules are the heart of CFRipper. When running CFRipper the CloudFormation stack will be checked against each rule and the results combined.
