title: AWS New Lambda Layer Attached
id: 97fbabf8-8e1b-47a2-b7d5-a418d2b95e3d
status: test
description: |
Detects when a user attached a Lambda layer to an existing Lambda function.
A malicious Lambda layer could execute arbitrary code in the context of the function's IAM role.
This would give an adversary access to resources that the function has access to.

falsepositives:
- Lambda Layer being attached may be performed by a system administrator. Verify whether the user identity, user agent, and/or hostname should be making changes in your environment.
- Lambda Layer being attached from unfamiliar users should be investigated. If known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.
