aws_lambda_permission resource returning failure for x-ray scanning

[MattBergin]

Description

The aws_lambda_permission resource is being mistakenly scanned by trivy as a lambda function and returning a failure that it doesn't have x-ray tracing enabled.

This should not be the case as you cannot enable x-ray tracing on an aws_lambda_permission resource, only on a Lambda function.

Desired Behavior

aws_lambda_permissions resource should not be scanned for x-ray tracing

Actual Behavior

aws_lambda_permission resource is scanned for x-ray tracing and returns a failure as it cannot be applied to this resource.

Reproduction Steps

We can replicate the issue by creating an empty Terraform project that just contains one file (main.tf) with contents:


resource "aws_lambda_permission" "allow_cloudwatch" {
  statement_id  = "AllowExecutionFromCloudWatch"
  action        = "lambda:InvokeFunction"
  function_name = "foobar"
  principal     = "events.amazonaws.com"
  source_arn    = "arn:aws:events:eu-west-1:111122223333:rule/RunDaily"
}

Running a trivy scan on this returns the following error:

Tests: 1 (SUCCESSES: 0, FAILURES: 1)
Failures: 1 (UNKNOWN: 0, LOW: 1, MEDIUM: 0, HIGH: 0, CRITICAL: 0)

AVD-AWS-0066 (LOW): Function does not have tracing enabled.
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
X-Ray tracing enables end-to-end debugging and analysis of all function activity. This will allow for identifying bottlenecks, slow downs and timeouts.
