While serverless functions are becoming more and more popular with cloud-native application developments, we've also started seeing security challenges that come with the hype. Serverless applications are at risk of OWASP top ten application attacks. Even when serverless applications are running without a managed server, they will still execute code. If the code is written in a manner that doesn't follow security best practices, or if the function is using excessive permissions, they can be vulnerable to a wide range of security attacks.
Unlike traditional applications, Lambda functions can be triggered by a number of things including AWS services. They can be triggered by events such as files being uploaded to a S3 bucket. They can even be triggered by an email or SMS. A Lambda function with command injection vulnerability will allow an attacker to pass malicious payload which can steal the source code for further attacks - among other things. If the IAM role being used by a Lambda function has excessive permissions, the attacker can use the IAM role to scan and interact with other AWS services such as DynamoDB, etc. Ultimately, they can perform unauthorized and malicous actions such as delete and insert records. Now, these change the way we look at securing a miroservice such as a Lambda function in a cloud native application.
In this tutorial, I'll do a step-by-step walk-through of deploying CloudGuard workload protection a simple serverless Lambda function, and integrating with your CICD pipeline. CloudGuard workload protection can assess your Lambda code for vulnerabilities and embedded sensitive credentials, excessive permissions being used by functions, and enable active protection & workload firewall for your serverless workloads. When integrated with CICD pipeline, CloudGuard can continuously protect your serverless application for every new release.
This Github repo contains source code (zip) of a sample serverless application that you can deploy with the command line interface (CLI) or a simple automation script, and the configuration files (JSON files) that I've used.
You need the following tools on your computer:
- AWS CLI Install AWS CLI.
- AWS SAM CLI - Install the AWS SAM CLI.
- Node.js - Install Node.js 12, including the npm package management tool.
Note: This is an ALL-AWS tutorial which means we'll be using CICD services provided by AWS ONLY. However, CloudGuard can be integrated with any other automation tools that can create CICD pipeline.
- AWS Account
- CloudGuard Account
- CloudGurd API key and API Secret. Check out How to generate CloudGuard API and API Secret
I assume that you already have access to an CloudGuard CSPM account, and are somewhat familiar with it. Otherwise, go to https://secure.dome9.com/v2 and get your CloudGuard evaluation account.
AWS IAM roles needed to be created for the following services:
- CodeCommit
- CodeBuild
- CodeDeploy
- CodePipeline
- Lambda Function
- Cloudformation
The roles will be created as part of creating a codepipeline. Please take note that the role used by codebulid requires permission to access to a number of AWS resources such as S3.
In this tutorial, we'll be doing the followings;
- Create AWS CodeCommit repo
(Yes if you'd like to follow along my ALL-AWS tutorial, you'll need to create a CodeCommit repo which will be used in CICD pipeline. In this Github repo, I've uploaded Nodejs application source code zip file, buildspec.yml, and other scripts) - Deploy a sample serverless application
- Create a CodePipeline
- Integrate CloudGuard to protect the serverless app at build stage
- Test Your CodePipeline - Observe that any change in the codecommit repo will trigger the pipeline, and in the build stage, CloudGuard will be enabled and integrated to the serverless application
- Verification of CloudGuard protection - Verify that Proact and FSP for the serverless application are enabled on the CloudGuard console.
- Code Injection Attack Simulation
First you'll need to create a CodeCommit repo on AWS. This is required for hosting source files. Once AWS CodePipeline is set up later in this tutorial, Pipeline update will be triggered if you change any source file in this repo. You can do it on AWS web console or you can just execute the following command:
aws codecommit create-repository --repository-name cloudguard-serverless-cicd-code-repo --repository-description "CloudGuard Serverless CICD Pipeline Demo Repo"Then you'll need to do 'git clone' via either SSH or HTTP. It'll be an empty repository first. Then you will need to download the source files (zip) into your local repo here. These source files will be used to deploy your serverless function.
-
Unzip the source files (It will create a folder. You'll need to move the files from that folder to root directory.)
-
Remove the zip file (and the empty folder.)
-
Download the following files from this GitHub repo to your CodeCommit local directory.
- buildspec.yml
- sam_deploy.sh
- cloudguard-config.json
- my-pipeline.json (Optional)
- codebuild-create-project.json (optional)
- You may add .gitignore & README.md if you'd like
- Then you'll need to do
git init,git add -A,git commit -m "Your message"andgit push
You should see the following files and folders in your CodeCommit Repo.
$ ls
README.md node_modules template.yml
__tests__ cloudguard-config.json
buildspec.yml my-pipeline.json package.json src
$cloudguard-config.json is CloudGuard's activation token, and includes CloudGuard's API key and API secrets. In build stage, this file will be used by CloudGuard for authentication purpose. You'll need to generate CloudGuard API key and API secrets on CloudGuard console. Download "cloudguard-config.json" from my Git repo, and replace the dummy values with your API key and secrets.
{
"cloudguardAccessToken": "CloudGuard API Key:CloudGuard API Secret"
}
You'll also need to create an S3 bucket.
aws s3 mb s3://Your-Bucket-Name2. Deploy a sample serverless application sam_deploy.sh
Now is the time to deploy your serverless application. We'll be deploying a very simple nodejs Lambda function which just works for this lab. However, you can deploy ANY serverless application. The CloudGuard integration will work with any Lambda application as long as you follow the instructions.
You can either use SAM command line to deploy or download the sam_deploy.sh script from this git repo to your local directory, and just execute it. sam_deploy.sh is a simple script I developed for ease of deployment. Please take note that this script will only work if you have SAM CLI installed, and only on Linux/MacOS. If you're on Windows, execute the two SAM commands which I'll show you after the script output. You will need to execute the script in the root directory (the one with template.yml in it), and it will ask for the following:
- Your S3 Bucket Name (The one that you've just created.)
- Your Cloudformation Stack name
./sam_deploy.shExpected output:
./sam_deploy.sh
Enter S3 Bucket Name: chkp-jayden-serverless-apps-source
Enter Your CFT Stack Name: chkp-jayden-dev-serverless-app

Your serverless application has been deployed. Observe that there is "out.yml" now which was basically an output file of SAM package command used in the sam_deploy.sh script.
If you're on Windows, execute the following two command lines in the directory where template.yml is.
sam package --template-file template.yml --s3-bucket YOUR-BUCKET-NAME --output-template-file out.yml
sam deploy --template-file ./out.yml --stack-name YOUR-CFT-STACK-NAME --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM
Now that your cloudformation stack has been deployed, you also have a Lambda function which we will protect in this tutorial. (You can check out and test the Lambda function on AWS web console.)
We'll need the ARN of the cloudformation stack as well. Go to AWS Web Console => Cloudformation => Stacks, and take note the ARN of the stack that has just been created. (It looks like this: arn:aws:cloudformation:ap-southeast-1:116489363094:stack/chkp-serverless-app/a6d77c70-048a-11eb-8438-02e7c9cae2dc)
Buildspec.yml instructs CodeBuild in build stage in terms of what to do - things like adding Proact and FSP to the function. So this an important configuration file. In the buildspec.yml, replace the following values with your own values (without []):
- AWS_REGION=[Your REGION]
- S3_BUCKET=[YOUR BUCKET NAME]
- cloudguard fsp -c [The ARN of Your Cloudformation stack you just took note of]

It is time to create your CICD pipeline on AWS. Now if you're like me who like to do things using CLI, you can create a CodePipeline and a CodeBuild project in just two command lines. You will need to just edit "codebuild-create-project.json" and "my-pipeline.json" which you can find in this repo, replace the values with your own values, and execute the following CLI.
- Create a CodeBuild Project
aws codebuild create-project --cli-input-json file://codebuild-create-project.json- Create CodePipeline
aws codepipeline create-pipeline --cli-input-json file://my-pipeline.jsonOtherwise, please follow the step-by-step guide to create a CodePipeline.
Let's create your CICD Pipeline on AWS console!
- Go to "CodePipeline" on AWS console
- Create Pipeline
- Enter your pipeline's name
- If you already have an existing role, choose it. Otherwise, create a new role.
Then we can add source - which is CodeCommit in this tutorial. You can add any source (e.g. Github)
- Choose "CodeCommit" (You can use Github or any code repo. If you're following along my tutorial, choose CodeCommit.)
- Choose Repository name - the CodeCommit repo that you've created earlier.
- Choose Master Branch
- For change detection, Choose "CloudWatch Events".
This is the build stage and it's important. We need to first configure the build environment.
- Choose "CodeBuild" & choose your region.
- If you don't already have a codebuild project, choose "Create Project".
In CodeBuild windows, do the following;
- Enter your project name
- Choose "Managed Image" and "Ubuntu" as Operating system
- Choose "Standard" & "Standard:3.0" (It's totally up to you to choose actually. But this setting works for Nodejs 12.x apps)
- Check "Privileged ...." checkbox
- Choose an existing role or create a new service role.
Now, please take note that codebuild role requires permissions to access a number of AWS services including Lambda, Cloudformation template and IAM. You will encounter issues while CodeBuild is building the app.
In Deploy stage, we'll have to do the following;
- Choose "Cloudformation" as Deploy Provider
- Choose your region
- Action mode: "Create or update a stack" (You can also use ChangeSet)
- Stack Name: Choose the CFT Stack that you've created for your Lambda function
- As for Artifacts, Enter "template-export.yml" as defined in buildspec.yml.
Now, your CodePipeline has been created! Once a pipeline is created, any change in your source code in AWS CodeCommit will trigger the pipeline process. In build stage, CloudGuard will protect the serverless application by enabling Proact, and FSP which will be added to the Lambda function as a layer. The code will be scanned for vulnerabilities and embedded credentials by Proact first, and then FSP will be enabled on the function for runtime protection. This process will happen every time a CodePipeline update is triggered.
Now that you've successfully created your CICD pipeline, any change to the Lambda code will trigger the pipeline at this point. So let's make some changes and monitor what happens. You can observe the "Build" stage and see that Proact and FSP have been enabled on the function.
In your local CodeCommit directory, go to "src\cloudguardapp.js"
And change the const message to something else.
/**
* A Lambda function that returns a static string
*/
exports.cloudguardHandler = async () => {
// If you change this message, you will need to change cloudguardapp.test.js
const message = 'This serverless app 2 is protected by CloudGuard!';
// All log statements are written to CloudWatch
console.info(`${message}`);
return message;
}
- Then, in your local Git directory, do
git add -A,git commit -m "message"andgit push. This will trigger the pipeline change. Then observe the activities on Pipeline on the AWS Console.

You can observe in the log files how CloudGuard was downloaded and triggered, how Proact and FSP were enabled, and how the Build was completed (and then the stage was changed to Deploy.)
On AWS Console, go to "Lambda", and the function that we've deployed and enabled the CloudGuard protection on just now. Verify that a layer has been added to the function.
You can log on to your CloudGuard console, and go to the Serverless module or Protected Assets. Check your Lambda function.
Congratulations! You've successfully integrated CloudGuard workload protection into CICD pipeline on AWS!
Initially, this section wasn't part of the tutorial. However, I'd like to share how CloudGuard workload protection responds to attacks like code injection when Function Self-Protection (FSP) is turned on. So I added this.
In a scenario where you expose Lambda function via HTTP endpoints provided by API Gateway, your serverless application can be vulnerable to numerous code injection attacks. The sample serverless application in this example is vulnerable to code injection attack, and is also using excessive IAM permissions which can allow an attacker to interact with other AWS services as well. By nature, it can also have access to the backend DynamoDB. Basically, the attacker can pass malicious script or payload to HTTP endpoint using a POST method.
If you've turned on Function Self-Protection (FSP) on CloudGuard for that particular Lambda function, your application can be secured and protected by CloudGuard workload protection. FSP is run everytime the function is invoked. CloudGuard will block code injection attacks when the application is at runtime.
In below example, I've simulated a simple code injection attack using curl. This simulated attack is not a serious one - however, imagine what a real attack can do with the ability to leverage on similar code injection vulnerabilities. Well, as you can see, the attack wasn't successful when Function Self Protection (Or Function Runtime Protection) is enabled on the function.(Internal Server Error)
On CloudGuard console, you can see that the code injection attack was blocked by CloudGuard.
To delete the sample application that you created, you can just use the AWS CLI. You'll need to delete the CodePipeline as well as the cloudformation stack.
aws codepipeline delete-pipeline --name MyPipelineaws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name cloudguard-serverless-appCONGRATULATIONS! It's quite a journey but we are here. You've successfully deployed CloudGuard workload protection on your serverless application, and integrated into your CICD pipeline on AWS! Now your serverless application has been secured by CloudGuard.
Happy DevSecOps-ing! Jayden Aung

One of the issues you might probably encounter in CodePipeline is the build stage might fail due to IAM insufficient permissions. Double check that sufficient IAM permissions are given to the role.
-
Make sure that all required software & dependencies are installed. (e.g. AWS CLI, SAM, Nodejs) Otherwise, scipts like sam_deploy.sh won't run.
