Middy FunctionShield middleware
FunctionShield middleware for the middy framework, the stylish Node.js middleware engine for AWS Lambda
⚠️ Warning: FunctionShield is no longer actively maintained and will unlikely be updated to have Node.js v12 support. See #460 ⚠️
Hardens AWS Lambda execution environment:
- By monitoring (or blocking) outbound network traffic to public internet, you can be certain that your data is never leaked (traffic to AWS services is not affected)
- By disabling read/write operations on the /tmp/ directory, you make sure that files are not persisted across invocations. Storing data in
/tmp
is a bad practice as it may be leaked in subsequent invocations - By disabling the ability to launch child processes, you can make sure that no rogue processes are spawned without your knowledge by potentially malicious packages
- By disabling the ability to read the function's (handler) source code through the file system, you can prevent handler source code leakage, which is oftentimes the first step in a serverless attack

Sample Usage
'use strict';
const fs = require('fs');
const middy = require('middy');
const {ssm, functionShield} = require('middy/middlewares');
async function hello(event) {
fs.openSync('/tmp/test', 'w');
}
const handler = middy(hello)
.use(ssm({
cache: true,
setToContext: true,
names: {
FUNCTION_SHIELD_TOKEN: 'function_shield_token'
}
}))
.use(functionShield(
{
policy: {
outbound_connectivity: 'alert'
}
}
));
module.exports = {
handler
};
