Control: 2 AWS WAF Classic Regional rules should have at least one condition

Description

This control checks whether an AWS WAF Regional rule has at least one condition. The control fails if no conditions are present within a rule.

A WAF Regional rule can contain multiple conditions. The rule's conditions allow for traffic inspection and take a defined action (allow, block, or count). Without any conditions, the traffic passes without inspection. A WAF Regional rule with no conditions, but with a name or tag suggesting allow, block, or count, could lead to the wrong assumption that one of those actions is occurring.

Remediation

To add a condition to an empty rule, see Adding and removing conditions in a rule in the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_waf_2

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_waf_2 --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

waf_regional_rule_condition_attached
