🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @alexcrtestapp in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @alexcrtestapp generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @alexcrtestapp modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @alexcrtestapp in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @alexcrtestapp gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @alexcrtestapp read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.

    • @alexcrtestapp help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

9-15: Local variable types should be numbers, not strings
Defining from_port and to_port as strings can lead to unexpected type casting. It’s clearer and safer to declare them as numeric literals.

Proposed diff:

 locals {
   sg_name    = "checkov-test"
   aws_vpc_id = "vpc-#####"  # enter vpc id here
   cidr_block = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
-  from_port  = "80"
-  to_port    = "80"
+  from_port  = 80
+  to_port    = 80
 }

97-105: Terraform version constraints are appropriate
The required_version and provider pinning follow best practices, ensuring compatibility and preventing unintentional upgrades.

⚠️ Potential issue

Remove hard‑coded AWS credentials
Storing static access_key and secret_key in source code risks credential leaks. Use Terraform input variables or environment variables with sensitive = true.

Suggested refactor:

 provider "aws" {
   region = var.aws_region
-  access_key = "AKIA123456789EXAMPLE"
-  secret_key = "wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"
+  # Use variables or environment injection to avoid hard‑coding
+  access_key = var.aws_access_key
+  secret_key = var.aws_secret_key
 }

And add a variables.tf:

variable "aws_access_key" {
  type      = string
  sensitive = true
}

variable "aws_secret_key" {
  type      = string
  sensitive = true
}

⚠️ Potential issue

Public S3 bucket with no block-public-access and disabled versioning
Using public-read ACL exposes your bucket contents, and disabling block-public-access and versioning increases risk and reduces recoverability.

Proposed secure configuration:

 resource "aws_s3_bucket" "public" {
-  bucket = "checkov-public-bucket-demo-12345"
-  acl    = "public-read"
+  bucket = "checkov-public-bucket-demo-12345"
+  acl    = "private"

-  versioning {
-    enabled = false
-  }
+  versioning {
+    enabled = true
+  }

+  block_public_access {
+    block_public_acls       = true
+    block_public_policy     = true
+    ignore_public_acls      = true
+    restrict_public_buckets = true

⚠️ Potential issue

Security group allows ALL TCP ports from ANYwhere
Allowing ports 0–65535 to 0.0.0.0/0 is a critical risk. Limit ingress to only required ports and trusted CIDRs.

Sample refactor to SSH-only:

 resource "aws_security_group" "insecure" {
   name        = "insecure-sg"
   description = "Insecure SG exposing all TCP ports to the world"
   vpc_id      = local.aws_vpc_id

-  ingress {
-    description = "Allow all TCP traffic"
-    from_port   = 0
-    to_port     = 65535
-    protocol    = "tcp"
-    cidr_blocks = ["0.0.0.0/0"]
-  }
+  ingress {
+    description = "Allow SSH from trusted network"
+    from_port   = 22
+    to_port     = 22
+    protocol    = "tcp"
+    cidr_blocks = ["203.0.113.0/24"]  # replace with your office CIDR
+  }

⚠️ Potential issue

Ingress description misleads and opens port 80 to the world
The rule’s cidr_blocks is ["0.0.0.0/0"] (internet), yet the description says “from VPC.” Either restrict it to your VPC CIDR or correct the description to match intent.

Example correction:

   ingress {
-    description = "Ingress from VPC"
+    description = "Ingress from Internet on port 80"
+    # To restrict to VPC, set cidr_blocks = [var.vpc_cidr_block]
     from_port   = local.from_port
     to_port     = local.to_port
     protocol    = "tcp"
     cidr_blocks = local.cidr_block
   }
