Middy FunctionShield middleware

FunctionShield middleware for the middy framework, the stylish Node.js middleware engine for AWS Lambda

⚠️ Warning: FunctionShield is no longer actively maintained and will unlikely be updated to have Node.js v12 support. See #460 ⚠️

Hardens AWS Lambda execution environment:

• By monitoring (or blocking) outbound network traffic to public internet, you can be certain that your data is never leaked (traffic to AWS services is not affected)
• By disabling read/write operations on the /tmp/ directory, you make sure that files are not persisted across invocations. Storing data in /tmp is a bad practice as it may be leaked in subsequent invocations
• By disabling the ability to launch child processes, you can make sure that no rogue processes are spawned without your knowledge by potentially malicious packages
• By disabling the ability to read the function's (handler) source code through the file system, you can prevent handler source code leakage, which is oftentimes the first step in a serverless attack

• 'block' - Block and log to Cloudwatch Logs
• 'alert' - Allow and log to Cloudwatch Logs
• 'allow' - Allow

Options

• policy.outbound_connectivity - 'block'/'alert'/'allow' (default: 'block')
• policy.read_write_tmp - 'block'/'alert'/'allow' (default: 'block')
• policy.create_child_process - 'block'/'alert'/'allow' (default: 'block')
• policy.read_handler - 'block'/'alert'/'allow' (default: 'block')
• token - By default looks for FUNCTION_SHIELD_TOKEN in process.env and context
• disable_analytics - Periodically, during cold starts, FunctionShield sends basic analytics information to its backend. To disable analytics module set: true. (default: false)

Sample Usage

'use strict';

const fs = require('fs');
const middy = require('middy');
const {ssm, functionShield} = require('middy/middlewares');

async function hello(event) {
  fs.openSync('/tmp/test', 'w');
}


const handler = middy(hello)
  .use(ssm({
    cache: true,
    setToContext: true,
    names: {
      FUNCTION_SHIELD_TOKEN: 'function_shield_token'
    }
  }))
  .use(functionShield(
    {
      policy: {
        outbound_connectivity: 'alert'
      }
    }
  ));

module.exports = {
  handler
};
