CI/CD Pipeline Security Assessment on AWS by Futuralis

The Futuralis CI/CD Pipeline Security Assessment focuses on how code moves from a developer repository into AWS environments and whether that process can be compromised or bypassed.

Security engineers document the pipeline architecture, trust boundaries, identities, credentials, external integrations, and deployment destinations. Configuration files and platform controls are then reviewed for exploitable weaknesses.

Assessment work includes:

• Reviewing AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or agreed platforms.
• Mapping repository-to-production trust relationships.
• Reviewing pipeline IAM roles and deployment permissions.
• Inspecting secrets, tokens, webhooks, and service-account handling.
• Evaluating branch protection and pull-request approval controls.
• Reviewing self-hosted and managed runner security.
• Inspecting third-party actions, plugins, packages, and dependencies.
• Evaluating artifact storage, integrity, signing, retention, and promotion.
• Testing whether required security or approval stages can be bypassed.
• Reviewing build logs for secret or sensitive-data exposure.
• Evaluating production release separation and rollback controls.
• Documenting realistic software supply-chain attack paths.

Deliverables include a pipeline architecture map, trust-boundary analysis, validated findings, IAM and secrets review, supply-chain risk register, remediation plan, executive summary, and technical report.
