CodeBuild GitHub or Bitbucket Source Repository URLs Should Use OAuth Rule
This rule ensures that CodeBuild GitHub or Bitbucket source repository URLs are configured to use OAuth for secure access.
| Rule | CodeBuild GitHub or Bitbucket source repository URLs should use OAuth |
| Framework | NIST 800-53 Revision 4 |
| Severity | ✔ Critical |
Rule Description
The rule states that CodeBuild source repository URLs, specifically for GitHub or Bitbucket, should be configured to use OAuth authentication. This is in compliance with NIST 800-53 Revision 4 guidelines.
Reasoning
OAuth authentication provides a secure and standardized way for CodeBuild to access source code repositories hosted on GitHub or Bitbucket. By using OAuth, the access credentials are not stored or transmitted through CodeBuild, thus reducing the risk of unauthorized access or exposure.
Troubleshooting Steps
If you encounter issues related to configuring OAuth for CodeBuild with GitHub or Bitbucket, the following steps can help troubleshoot the problem:
- 1.
Ensure that you have proper credentials: Make sure you have valid access credentials for the GitHub or Bitbucket repository you intend to use with CodeBuild. This includes the appropriate access tokens or keys required for OAuth authentication.
- 2.
Check OAuth permissions: Check that the OAuth credentials you have specified for CodeBuild have the necessary permissions to access the repository. Ensure that the appropriate scopes or permissions are granted to the OAuth application used by CodeBuild.
- 3.
Verify OAuth app configuration: Double-check the configuration of the OAuth application associated with the CodeBuild integration. Ensure that the redirect URL and any other required settings are correctly defined.
- 4.
Review webhook settings: If you are experiencing issues with CodeBuild triggering automatically when changes are pushed to the repository, check the webhook settings in your GitHub or Bitbucket repository. Ensure that the webhook is properly configured to trigger CodeBuild builds on relevant events such as push events.
Necessary Code
To configure CodeBuild to use OAuth for GitHub or Bitbucket repository URLs, you need to provide the appropriate OAuth credentials in your CodeBuild project configuration. Here is an example of how you can define the OAuth settings in CodeBuild using AWS CLI:
aws codebuild create-project \ --name my-project \ --source "type=BITBUCKET,location=https://bitbucket.org/my-org/my-repo.git,auth=OAUTH"
Replace
my-projectBITBUCKETGITHUBBITBUCKEThttps://bitbucket.org/my-org/my-repo.gitRemediation Steps
To remediate the non-compliance with the rule and configure CodeBuild to use OAuth for GitHub or Bitbucket repository URLs, follow these steps:
- 1.
Identify the CodeBuild project: Determine the CodeBuild project that requires the OAuth configuration.
- 2.
Generate OAuth credentials: Create or obtain a valid OAuth application in either GitHub or Bitbucket, depending on the repository hosting provider. Ensure that the OAuth application has the necessary permissions and scopes required to access the repository.
- 3.
Retrieve OAuth authentication details: Obtain the OAuth client ID, client secret, and any other required information from the OAuth application.
- 4.
Update CodeBuild project configuration: Use the AWS CLI or AWS Management Console to update the CodeBuild project configuration with the OAuth authentication details. This includes providing the OAuth client ID, client secret, and repository URL.
- 5.
Test the configuration: Trigger a build using the updated CodeBuild project configuration to verify that OAuth authentication is working correctly with the GitHub or Bitbucket repository.
By following these steps, you can ensure that CodeBuild source repository URLs for GitHub or Bitbucket are using OAuth authentication, thereby complying with the NIST 800-53 Revision 4 guidelines.
