3
+ Context for Claude Code sessions in this repository. Read this before making
4
+ changes.

+
6
+ ## What this project is
7
+
8
+ modelmoat is a static analysis tool that scans Terraform for AI infrastructure
9
+ security misconfigurations: SageMaker networking, Bedrock and SageMaker IAM
10
+ grants, model artifact buckets, missing PrivateLink for AI service traffic, and
11
+ vector data store posture.
12
+
13
+ Positioning, stated exactly this way and no stronger: general IaC scanners cover
14
+ some of this ground, and modelmoat is the one that treats AI infrastructure as
15
+ its own category. Never claim to be the first or only scanner with AI checks.
16
+ That claim is false and the audience for this tool will check.
17
+
18
+ The maintainer works in infrastructure security and is not a Terraform expert.
19
+ Explain Terraform and AWS specifics when they matter to a decision, and do not
20
+ assume familiarity with provider internals.
21
+
22
+ ## The one rule above all others
23
+
24
+ The secure fixture must produce zero findings. A scanner that fires on correct
25
+ infrastructure trains people to ignore it, and for this project the false
26
+ positive rate is the product. CI enforces this in both directions on every push:
27
+ `tests/fixtures/secure` must exit 0, `tests/fixtures/insecure` must exit
28
+ non-zero.
29
+
30
+ If a change makes the secure fixture produce a finding, the change is wrong. Do
31
+ not adjust the fixture to make a check pass.
32
+
33
+ ## Rules every check follows
34
+
35
+ 1. Checks run against the whole `ProjectGraph`, never a single file. Terraform
36
+ spreads related resources across files and so do we.
37
+ 2. Values containing `${` are unknown and are never flagged. modelmoat does not
38
+ flag what it cannot prove.
39
+ 3. Keyword matching is on whole tokens, never substrings. `email` must not match
40
+ `ai` and `html` must not match `ml`. Both are permanent negative controls in
41
+ the test suite.
42
+ 4. Severity is calibrated to demonstrated exposure:
43
+ - CRITICAL: the configuration itself proves internet reachability with weak
44
+ or absent authentication, for example a bucket policy granting
45
+ `Principal "*"`.
46
+ - HIGH: missing encryption, or permissions broad enough to reach any AI
47
+ resource in the account.
48
+ - MEDIUM and LOW: hygiene. A missing S3 public access block is LOW, because
49
+ AWS account defaults have blocked public access on new buckets since April
50
+ 2023.
51
+ 5. Finding messages never claim more than the configuration proves. A SageMaker
52
+ model outside a VPC is a runtime and traffic path exposure, not an open URL,
53
+ because invocation still requires a SigV4-signed IAM request. Say so.
54
+ 6. Every new check needs two fixtures: one that triggers it, and one that looks
55
+ similar but must stay silent.
56
+
57
+ ## Architecture
58
+
59
+ - `modelmoat/graph.py` parses every `.tf` file once into a `ProjectGraph`.
60
+ Handles python-hcl2 8.x quirks: string literals and block labels come back
61
+ wrapped in literal quotes, and nested blocks come back as lists of dicts
62
+ tagged with `__is_block__`. Helpers: `unquote`, `normalize`, `blocks`,
63
+ `first_block`, `is_unknown`, `truthy`, `missing_or_false`, `ai_tokens_in`,
64
+ `extract_ref`.
65
+ - `modelmoat/policy.py` parses IAM policy documents. Terraform expresses these
66
+ four ways: `jsonencode()` (which hcl2 serializes back in HCL syntax with `=`
67
+ instead of `:`, so it needs a transform before JSON parsing), raw JSON
68
+ heredocs, `data.aws_iam_policy_document` statement blocks, and managed policy
69
+ ARNs. Managed policy matching is case-insensitive on both sides.
70
+ - `modelmoat/scanner.py` holds `Finding`, `ScanResult`, and the orchestrator.
71
+ - `modelmoat/checks/` holds the five checks, registered in `checks/__init__.py`.
72
+ - `modelmoat/cli.py` is Typer with an explicit `scan` subcommand. Exit code is
73
+ computed before severity filtering, so `--min-severity` changes what prints
74
+ without changing what fails a build.
75
+
76
+ ## Gotchas already paid for
77
+
78
+ - python-hcl2 8.x does not support the `with_meta` keyword, so line numbers come
79
+ from a regex scan of the source, not the parser.
80
+ - `vpc_config` lives on `aws_sagemaker_model`, not on
81
+ `aws_sagemaker_endpoint_configuration`. Checking the endpoint config fires on
82
+ every endpoint config ever written.
83
+ - S3 public access block arguments default to false when omitted, not true.
84
+ - Block Public Access overrides both ACLs and bucket policies, so a bucket with
85
+ all four protections enabled produces no finding regardless of its ACL.
86
+ - CLI output uses a per-finding block layout, not a Rich table. Tables shred at
87
+ 80 columns, which is what people see when piping output to a file.
88
+
89
+ ## Before committing
90
+
91
+ python -m pytest -q
92
+ python -m ruff check modelmoat tests
93
+
94
+ Both must pass. Do not commit with failing tests or lint errors.
95
+
96
+ ## Writing style for anything user-facing
97
+
98
+ Applies to README, docs, finding messages, release notes, issue replies, and any
99
+ LinkedIn or blog drafts.
100
+
101
+ Banned words: leverage, navigate, robust, seamless, foster, delve, landscape,
102
+ tapestry, vibrant, nestled, underscore, harness, unleash, unlock, elevate,
103
+ empower, streamline, pivotal, paradigm, holistic, synergy, ecosystem, journey,
104
+ realm, sphere, arena, fabric, beacon, cornerstone, testament.
105
+
106
+ Banned phrases: "not just X but Y", "it's important to note", "furthermore",
107
+ "moreover", "in conclusion".
108
+
109
+ Style: no em dashes. Lead with specific numbers. Paragraphs of three or four
110
+ sentences at most. No rule-of-three lists. No emojis in headers. No stacked
111
+ hedging. Never name the maintainer's employer.
112
+
113
+ ## Roadmap
114
+
115
+ Pinecone and Weaviate providers, SARIF output for GitHub code scanning, Azure AI
116
+ and Vertex AI resources, and a `--baseline` file so teams can adopt the tool on
117
+ an existing codebase without a wall of findings on day one.

+ ## Rules for checks
11
+
12
+ 1. Every check runs against the whole project graph, not a single file.
13
+ Terraform spreads related resources across files and so do we.
14
+ 2. Every check needs two fixtures: one that triggers it and one that looks
15
+ similar but must not. The secure fixture returning zero findings is a hard
16
+ CI gate.
17
+ 3. Severity is calibrated to real exposure. Reachable-from-internet with weak
18
+ or no auth is CRITICAL. Missing encryption or broad IAM is HIGH. Hygiene
19
+ gaps are MEDIUM or LOW. A finding message must never claim more than the
20
+ configuration proves.
21
+ 4. Values that come from variables or expressions we cannot resolve are
22
+ treated as unknown and are not flagged.
23
+
24
+ ## Adding a check
25
+
26
+ Create a module in `modelmoat/checks/`, implement a class with `check_id`,
27
+ `check_name`, and `run(graph) -> list[Finding]`, register it in
28
+ `modelmoat/checks/__init__.py`, and add both fixtures plus assertions in
29
+ `tests/`.

30
+
31
+ Static analysis for AI infrastructure security in Terraform. It reads your `.tf`
32
+ files and finds the misconfigurations that show up specifically when teams ship
33
+ Bedrock, SageMaker, and vector databases: blanket `bedrock:*` grants, model
34
+ artifact buckets open to the internet, embedding stores without encryption, and
35
+ inference traffic that never touches your private network.
36
+
37
+ General IaC scanners check hundreds of AWS resource types and cover some of this
38
+ ground. modelmoat is the one that treats AI infrastructure as its own category,
39
+ with checks written around how these services actually fail rather than a
40
+ generic encryption rule applied to every database in the account.
41
+
42
+ Findings run against the whole project at once, not file by file, because
43
+ Terraform spreads related resources across files. A bucket in `s3.tf` and its
44
+ public access block in `security.tf` are one decision, and modelmoat reads them
45
+ that way.
46
+
47
+ ## Install
48
+
49
+ pipx install modelmoat
50
+
51
+ Or with pip:
52
+
53
+ pip install modelmoat
54
+
55
+ Python 3.10 or newer. modelmoat only reads local files. It never contacts your
56
+ AWS account, reads state files, or touches credentials.
57
+
58
+ ## Usage
59
+
60
+ modelmoat scan .
61
+ modelmoat scan infra/ modules/ --min-severity HIGH
62
+ modelmoat scan . --json > findings.json
63
+
64
+ Real output from the test fixtures in this repo:
65
+
66
+ ```
67
+ modelmoat 0.1.0 scanned 6 Terraform file(s)
68
+ CRITICAL: 4 HIGH: 7 MEDIUM: 4 LOW: 3
69
+
70
+ CRITICAL S3-001 aws_s3_bucket.datasets
71
+ tests/fixtures/insecure/s3_bad.tf:11
72
+ S3 bucket 'datasets' looks AI/ML related (matched: datasets) and its
73
+ bucket policy allows Principal "*". Anyone on the internet can perform
74
+ the granted actions.
75
+ fix: Restrict the policy principal to specific roles or accounts and
76
+ add an aws_s3_bucket_public_access_block with all four protections
77
+ enabled.
78
+
79
+ HIGH IAM-001 aws_iam_role_policy_attachment.full_access
80
+ tests/fixtures/insecure/iam_bad.tf:12
81
+ Role 'agent_role' attaches AWS managed policy
82
+ 'arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonBedrockFullAccess', which grants blanket
83
+ AI service access. The role is used by Lambda function(s) public_agent,
84
+ vpc_agent.
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ ## Checks
88
+
89
+ | ID | What it finds | Severity range |
90
+ |----|---------------|----------------|
91
+ | SMK-001 | SageMaker models with no `vpc_config`, so containers run on the managed network with direct internet egress | HIGH |
92
+ | IAM-001 | Wildcard AI grants (`bedrock:*`, `sagemaker:*` on `Resource "*"`) in inline policies, customer managed policies, policy documents, or attached AWS `FullAccess` policies | HIGH |
93
+ | S3-001 | AI-related buckets exposed by a public ACL or a `Principal "*"` policy, plus weakened or missing public access blocks | CRITICAL to LOW |
94
+ | VPC-001 | Lambda functions calling Bedrock or SageMaker with no matching interface VPC endpoint in the project | MEDIUM to LOW |
95
+ | VEC-001 | OpenSearch, pgvector-capable Postgres, and AI-named ElastiCache missing encryption or network isolation | CRITICAL to LOW |
96
+
97
+ ## Exit codes and CI
98
+
99
+ `modelmoat scan` exits 1 when findings at or above `--fail-on` exist, and 0
100
+ otherwise. The default is `HIGH`, so hygiene findings do not break builds.
101
+ Exit code 2 means bad arguments.
102
+
103
+ ```yaml
104
+ - name: Scan AI infrastructure
105
+ run: |
106
+ pip install modelmoat
107
+ modelmoat scan infra/ --fail-on HIGH
108
+ ```
109
+
110
+ Tighten with `--fail-on MEDIUM` once your baseline is clean, or loosen to
111
+ `CRITICAL` while you work through a backlog. `--min-severity` controls what gets
112
+ printed and is separate from what fails the build, so you can see everything
113
+ while only blocking on the serious findings.
114
+
115
+ ## How severity is decided
116
+
117
+ CRITICAL means the configuration itself proves internet reachability with weak
118
+ or absent authentication. A bucket policy granting `Principal "*"` qualifies. A
119
+ SageMaker model outside a VPC does not, because invoking it still requires a
120
+ SigV4-signed IAM request, and modelmoat says exactly that in the finding rather
121
+ than claiming anyone with the URL can hit your model.
122
+
123
+ HIGH covers missing encryption and permissions broad enough to reach any AI
124
+ resource in the account. MEDIUM and LOW are hygiene: a missing public access
125
+ block is LOW, since account defaults have blocked public access on new buckets
126
+ since April 2023, and calling it CRITICAL would be wrong.
127
+
128
+ ## Design notes
129
+
130
+ Values that come from variables or expressions are unknown, and modelmoat does
131
+ not flag what it cannot prove. `storage_encrypted = var.encrypt_storage` produces
132
+ no finding either way.
133
+
134
+ Keyword matching is on whole tokens, never substrings. A bucket named
135
+ `email-archive` does not match `ai`, and `html-assets` does not match `ml`. Both
136
+ appear in the test suite as negative controls that must stay silent.
137
+
138
+ The test suite has one rule above all others: the secure fixture must produce
139
+ zero findings. A scanner that fires on correct infrastructure trains people to
140
+ ignore it, so CI runs both directions on every push, requiring a clean pass on
141
+ nine files of best-practice Terraform and a failing exit code on the insecure
142
+ fixture.
143
+
144
+ ## Limitations
145
+
146
+ modelmoat reads HCL statically. It does not evaluate modules, resolve variable
147
+ files, expand `for_each`, or read remote state, so a security control defined in
148
+ a module that this project only calls will not be seen. Coverage is AWS only
149
+ today, and provider-specific vector databases like Pinecone and Weaviate are not
150
+ yet checked.
151
+
152
+ Static analysis cannot tell you whether a security group actually permits the
153
+ traffic you fear, or whether an IAM permission is used. Treat findings as places
154
+ to look, not verdicts.
155
+
156
+ ## Roadmap
157
+
158
+ Pinecone and Weaviate providers, SARIF output for GitHub code scanning, Azure AI
159
+ and Vertex AI resources, and a `--baseline` file for adopting the tool on an
160
+ existing codebase without a wall of findings on day one.
161
+
162
+ ## Contributing
163
+
164
+ False positive reports are as welcome as new checks and get the same priority.
165
+ See CONTRIBUTING.md for the rules every check follows and SECURITY.md for
166
+ reporting a vulnerability in the tool itself.
