Control: ECS containers should be limited to read-only access to root filesystems

Description

This control checks if ECS containers are limited to read-only access to mounted root filesystems. This control fails if the ReadonlyRootFilesystem parameter in the container definition of ECS task definitions is set to false.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.ecs_task_definition_container_readonly_root_filesystem

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

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

SQL

This control uses a named query:

with privileged_container_definition as (
select
distinct task_definition_arn as arn
from
aws_ecs_task_definition,
jsonb_array_elements(container_definitions) as c
where
c ->> 'ReadonlyRootFilesystem' = 'true'
)
select
d.task_definition_arn as resource,
case
when c.arn is not null then 'ok'
else 'alarm'
end as status,
case
when c.arn is not null then d.title || ' containers limited to read-only access to root filesystems.'
else d.title || ' containers not limited to read-only access to root filesystems.'
end as reason
, region, account_id
from
aws_ecs_task_definition as d
left join privileged_container_definition as c on d.task_definition_arn = c.arn;
