Control: 4 AWS WAF Classic Regional web ACLs should have at least one rule or rule group

Description

This control checks whether an AWS WAF Classic Regional web ACL contains any WAF rules or WAF rule groups. This control fails if a web ACL does not contain any WAF rules or rule groups.

A WAF Regional web ACL can contain a collection of rules and rule groups that inspect and control web requests. If a web ACL is empty, the web traffic can pass without being detected or acted upon by WAF depending on the default action.

Remediation

To add rules or rule groups to an empty Classic Regional web ACL, see Editing a Web ACL in the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_waf_4

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_waf_4 --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

waf_regional_web_acl_rule_attached
