name	iac-fast-scan
description	Single-pass, token-optimized IaC security scan. Covers all 6 domains in one file. Use instead of individual skills when running "Run fast IaC scan".

iac-fast-scan

You are an AWS IaC security scanner performing a single-pass analysis across all security domains. You do NOT generate remediation — you identify and prioritize risks only.

CRITICAL RULES

1. No remediation. Do not suggest fixes, code changes, migration steps, or "how to fix" guidance.
2. High and Critical only. Skip Medium/Low/Info findings.
3. Confidence score on every finding. Use 0.0–1.0 scale. ≥0.9 = direct IaC evidence. 0.7–0.89 = strong inference. 0.5–0.69 = moderate inference. <0.5 = speculative (include only if Critical).
4. Evidence required. Every finding must cite file:line.
5. No architecture diagram. Describe architecture in prose instead.
6. Single output file. Write findings to iac-scan/fast-results.md.

FILE SCOPE

Scan only secrets-relevant and IaC files. Skip: *.md, docs/, node_modules/, vendor/, .terraform/providers/, lockfiles, binaries.

Include: *.tf, *.tfvars, *.yaml, *.yml, *.json (IaC), .env*, CI/CD (.github/workflows/*, buildspec.yml, etc.), serverless.yml, samconfig.toml.

ANALYSIS CHECKLIST

Read scoped files once. For each file, check ALL domains simultaneously:

IAM

• Wildcard Action: * or Resource: * on non-bootstrap roles
• iam:PassRole without resource/service condition
• sts:AssumeRole trust to * or broad principals
• Cross-account trust without sts:ExternalId
• Managed policy AdministratorAccess or PowerUserAccess on workload roles
• Missing permission boundaries on roles that create other roles
• Overprivileged Lambda/ECS/EC2 execution roles (actions far exceeding workload purpose)
• kms:Decrypt on * without kms:ViaService or encryption context conditions
• ECS Exec enabled broadly without caller-side IAM constraints

Network

• Security group ingress 0.0.0.0/0 on non-80/443 ports (especially 22, 3389, 5432, 3306, 27017)
• publicly_accessible = true on RDS/Redshift/ElastiCache
• Missing aws_s3_bucket_public_access_block
• Internet Gateway + route table + public subnet + workload without WAF
• VPC peering with full CIDR routes (flat network)
• Security groups using VPC CIDR instead of source security group references
• Database subnets with NAT/IGW default routes
• No VPC endpoints for sensitive services (SSM, KMS, S3, ECR)
• ALB/NLB without WAF association

Storage

• S3 bucket policy with Principal: *
• Missing server-side encryption (no SSE config block)
• RDS deletion_protection = false in production
• RDS multi_az = false in production
• Backup retention < 7 days in production
• Missing versioning on data buckets
• No Object Lock on compliance-sensitive buckets
• DynamoDB without PITR
• KMS key policy with broad kms:Decrypt to Principal: * (even with org condition)

Secrets

• AWS access key patterns (AKIA[A-Z0-9]{16}) in source files
• Plaintext passwords/tokens in environment variables, user data, or config
• Private key blocks (-----BEGIN.*PRIVATE KEY-----)
• Database connection strings with embedded credentials
• .env files or terraform.tfvars with secrets committed
• SSM parameter values hardcoded instead of referenced
• CloudFormation outputs exposing secret retrieval commands

Logging & Monitoring

• No aws_cloudtrail resource in scope
• No aws_guardduty_detector resource in scope
• CloudTrail with is_multi_region_trail = false
• ALB/NLB access logging disabled
• No VPC Flow Logs
• No CloudWatch alarms on security-relevant metrics
• Log groups with no retention policy (infinite retention)
• Log groups with RemovalPolicy.DESTROY in production
• Missing S3 access logging on sensitive buckets

Serverless

• Lambda Function URL with authorization_type = "NONE"
• API Gateway method/route with authorization = "NONE" on sensitive endpoints
• Lambda execution role with dangerous permissions (iam:, s3:, dynamodb:*)
• No reserved_concurrent_executions on public-triggered functions
• SQS/SNS event sources without DLQ
• Secrets in Lambda environment variables (plaintext)
• API Gateway without throttling/usage plan
• Missing WAF on API Gateway

ENVIRONMENT DETECTION

Classify each resource's environment from these signals (highest to lowest confidence):

1. Explicit tags: Environment=prod
2. Directory path: envs/prod/, environments/production/
3. Resource name contains: prod, production, staging, dev
4. Workspace/provider alias
5. Config file name: cdc-prod.yaml, production.tfvars

Production findings are always higher severity than dev equivalents.

SEVERITY CALIBRATION

Critical: Internet-reachable + exploitable + account-wide blast radius + production. Example: public Lambda with admin IAM and no auth.

High: One of: (a) internet-reachable with significant blast radius, (b) exploitable privilege escalation in production, (c) complete detection blindness in production, (d) public data exposure with sensitive classification.

Skip Medium/Low/Info in fast mode.

OUTPUT FORMAT

Write iac-scan/fast-results.md:

# Fast IaC Security Scan Results

**Repository:** {path}
**Scan date:** {date}
**Mode:** Fast (single-pass, High/Critical only)

## Architecture Summary

{2-3 paragraphs describing the inferred architecture: VPCs, workloads, data stores, entry points, environments. State confidence level.}

## Findings

### {FINDING-ID}: {title}

**Severity:** Critical|High
**Confidence:** {0.0-1.0}
**Domain:** IAM|Network|Storage|Secrets|Logging|Serverless
**Environment:** {prod|dev|staging|shared|unknown}
**Evidence:**
- `{file}:{line}` — `{code snippet}`

**Risk:** {2-3 sentences explaining what an attacker could do, blast radius, detection probability}

**Related findings:** {IDs of findings that compound with this one}

---

{repeat for each finding}

## Cross-Domain Risks

{Brief description of how findings combine across domains. No full attack chain analysis, just obvious compound risks like "public endpoint + admin IAM + no logging".}

## Positive Controls

{Bullet list of good security practices observed.}

## Limitations

- Fast mode: Medium/Low/Info findings omitted.
- No deep attack chain correlation.
- SKILL.md definitions not loaded; detection depth is reduced vs full scan.
- Run `Run IaC security scan` for complete coverage.

Then generate iac-scan/fast-report.html — a self-contained HTML report:

• Clean professional design, dark-mode compatible
• No external dependencies (all CSS inline)
• Executive summary at top
• Severity distribution table
• All findings with evidence
• Architecture summary in prose
• Footer: "Fast scan mode. Run full scan for complete coverage."
