Amazon Inspector Lambda code scanning should be enabled

Ensures Amazon Inspector Lambda code scanning is enabled in each Region where the account has Lambda functions, so function code is checked for flaws such as injection, data leaks and weak cryptography. Its findings quote the code, which can show hardcoded credentials. AWS offers it in some Regions only; a Region without it produces no finding, and its function code is not scanned.

How to fix it

In the console

Amazon Inspector → Account management → Activate

With the AWS CLI

aws inspector2 enable --resource-types LAMBDA LAMBDA_CODE --region <region>

With Terraform

resource "aws_inspector2_enabler" "this" {
  account_ids    = [data.aws_caller_identity.current.account_id]
  resource_types = ["LAMBDA", "LAMBDA_CODE"]
}
