== Noncompliant Code Example

The following policy allows an attacker to update the code of any Lambda function. An attacker can achieve privilege escalation by altering the code of a Lambda that executes with high privileges.

[source,python]
----
from aws_cdk.aws_iam import Effect, PolicyDocument, PolicyStatement

PolicyDocument(
    statements=[
        PolicyStatement(
            effect=Effect.ALLOW,
            actions=["lambda:UpdateFunctionCode"],
            resources=["*"]  # Noncompliant
        )
    ]
)

== Compliant Solution

Narrow the policy such that only updates to the code of certain Lambda functions are allowed.

[source,python]
----
from aws_cdk.aws_iam import Effect, PolicyDocument, PolicyStatement

PolicyDocument(
    statements=[
        PolicyStatement(
            effect=Effect.ALLOW,
            actions=["lambda:UpdateFunctionCode"],
            resources=[
                "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-2:123456789012:function:my-function:1"
            ]
        )
    ]
