Overview
Cyscale looks for functions directly reachable over the internet from any sources - i.e. functions with HTTP triggers/URLs.
While this might not be a problem, it is important to have an overview of your publicly accessible endpoints since they are among the first entry points attackers will probe. Knowing the API attack surface also constitutes the basis of your API security.
Remediation guidance
AWS
Check if your Lambda functions actually need to be public (i.e. anyone can invoke them). Lambda provides two authentication/authorization layers. First, is the authentication type of the function (AuthType). It can either require IAM authorization (AWS_IAM) or not (NONE). Then, there is the resource-based policy. Both must allow the request.

Service-wide remediation
Recommended when many resources are affected: fix the platform baseline first so new resources inherit the secure setting, then remediate the existing flagged resources in batches.
AWS
Use AWS Organizations guardrails, AWS Config rules or conformance packs where they fit, approved account baselines, and IaC modules so new resources inherit the secure setting.
Azure
Use management group or subscription Azure Policy assignments, remediation tasks where supported, landing-zone standards, and IaC modules so drift is prevented at scale.
Alibaba Cloud
Use Resource Directory guardrails, account baselines, and IaC modules so the secure setting is applied consistently across environments.
Google Cloud
Use organization or folder policies where available, shared project templates, logs and alerting baselines, and IaC modules so new resources inherit the secure setting.
Operational rollout
- Fix the baseline first at the account, subscription, project, cluster, or tenant scope that owns this control.
- Remediate the currently affected resources in batches, starting with internet-exposed and production assets.
- Re-scan and track approved exceptions with an owner and expiry date.
Query logic
These are the stored checks tied to this control.
