Toni de la Fuente ff260ef75d feat(sns): add Amazon SNS integration for email alerts
Add complete Amazon SNS integration to Prowler that allows sending security
findings as email alerts via SNS topics. The integration supports comprehensive
filtering by severity, provider, region, resource name, and resource tags.

Features:
- SNS topic-based email alerting system
- AWS credential authentication (access keys, roles, session tokens)
- Support for filtering findings before dispatch
- Async task processing with Celery
- Full CRUD operations for SNS integrations
- Connection testing and validation

SNS Client (prowler/lib):
- SNS class for publishing finding alerts to topics
- Email-formatted messages with comprehensive finding details
- Support for remediation recommendations and code examples
- Exception handling with custom error classes
- Connection testing with topic validation

Backend API (api/src):
- IntegrationSNSFindingsFilter with severity, region, provider, and resource filtering
- IntegrationSNSDispatchSerializer for dispatch validation
- IntegrationSNSViewSet with RBAC permissions
- SNS integration task (sns_integration_task)
- Job logic (send_findings_to_sns) for batch processing

Models & Serializers:
- Added SNS to Integration.IntegrationChoices
- SNSConfigSerializer with topic_arn validation
- Uses AWSCredentialSerializer for AWS authentication
- Connection testing integrated into utils

Email Alert Format:
- Subject: [Prowler Alert] SEVERITY - CHECK_ID - RESOURCE_NAME
- Body: Comprehensive text format with:
  - Finding details (severity, status, check info)
  - Resource information (name, type, UID, region, account, provider)
  - Risk description
  - Remediation recommendations with URLs
  - Remediation code (CLI, Terraform, Other)
  - Resource tags
  - Compliance framework mappings
  - Link back to Prowler UI

API Endpoints:
- POST /api/v1/integrations (create SNS integration)
- POST /api/v1/integrations/{id}/connection (test SNS topic)
- POST /api/v1/integrations/{id}/sns/dispatches (send filtered findings)

Cloudflare Provider Testing Guide

Implementation Status

The Cloudflare provider has been successfully implemented and integrated into Prowler!

🔍 Verification

1. Provider is Discovered

poetry run python prowler-cli.py --help | grep cloudflare
# Output should show cloudflare in the provider list

2. Checks are Available

poetry run python prowler-cli.py cloudflare --list-checks

Output:

[firewall_waf_enabled] Ensure Web Application Firewall (WAF) is enabled - firewall [high]
[ssl_always_use_https] Ensure 'Always Use HTTPS' is enabled - ssl [medium]
[ssl_tls_minimum_version] Ensure minimum TLS version is set to 1.2 or higher - ssl [high]

There are 3 available checks.

All 3 checks are successfully discovered and registered!

🔐 Authentication Setup

To run an actual scan, you need a valid Cloudflare API Token.

How to Get a Valid API Token

  1. Log in to Cloudflare Dashboard

  2. Navigate to API Tokens

  3. Create API Token

    • Click "Create Token"
    • Choose "Read all resources" template OR create custom token
  4. Required Permissions (for custom token):

    Zone - Zone - Read
    Zone - Zone Settings - Read
    Zone - Firewall Services - Read
    Account - Account Settings - Read
    
  5. Copy the Token

    • After creation, copy the token immediately (it won't be shown again)
    • Token format: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Testing with Your Token

Once you have a valid token:

# Set as environment variable
export CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="your-actual-token-here"

# Or pass directly
poetry run python prowler-cli.py cloudflare --api-token "your-actual-token-here"

🧪 Testing Without a Real Token

Test 1: List Available Checks

poetry run python prowler-cli.py cloudflare --list-checks

Works without authentication!

Test 2: List Services

poetry run python prowler-cli.py cloudflare --list-services

Works without authentication!

Test 3: View Help

poetry run python prowler-cli.py cloudflare --help

Works without authentication!

📊 Expected Scan Output

When you run with a valid token, you should see:

poetry run python prowler-cli.py cloudflare --api-token "your-valid-token"

Expected Output:

                         _
 _ __  _ __ _____      _| | ___ _ __
| '_ \| '__/ _ \ \ /\ / / |/ _ \ '__|

Using the Cloudflare credentials below:
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Cloudflare Account ID: your-account-id     ┃
┃ Cloudflare Account Name: your-username     ┃
┃ Cloudflare Account Email: your@email.com   ┃
┃ Authentication Method: API Token           ┃
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Scanning Cloudflare zones and resources...

→ Executing 3 checks, please wait...

[Output of check results will appear here]

🐛 Troubleshooting

Error: "Invalid API Token"

Cause: The token you provided is invalid or expired.

Solution:

  1. Generate a new token following the steps above
  2. Ensure the token hasn't expired
  3. Verify the token has the required permissions

Error: "No such file or directory: compliance/cloudflare"

Solution: Already fixed! The compliance directory has been created.

Error: "Module not found"

Solution:

# Clear Python cache
find prowler -name "__pycache__" -type d -exec rm -rf {} +

# Reinstall dependencies
poetry install

📝 Implementation Summary

What's Working

Provider Discovery

  • Cloudflare is automatically discovered by Prowler
  • Shows up in --help output (may need cache clear)

CLI Arguments

  • --api-token for API Token authentication
  • --api-key and --api-email for API Key authentication
  • --zone-id for zone scoping
  • --account-id for account scoping

Services Implemented

  • Firewall Service: WAF and firewall rules
  • SSL Service: TLS settings and HTTPS configuration

Security Checks (3 total)

  1. firewall_waf_enabled (High severity)
  2. ssl_tls_minimum_version (High severity)
  3. ssl_always_use_https (Medium severity)

Error Handling

  • Invalid credentials detection
  • API error handling
  • Proper exception raising

Documentation

  • README.md in provider directory
  • Setup guide
  • Quick reference
