Enforce AWS CDK security and compliance controls with cdk-nag. Use when adding rule packs, triaging findings, writing justified suppressions, integrating checks in CI/CD, or preventing insecure infrastructure patterns in CDK stacks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# CDK Nag ## When to Use - Validating CDK infrastructure against security and compliance guardrails. - Adding a rule pack such as `AwsSolutionsChecks` to a CDK app. - Triaging findings reported during `npx cdk synth`. - Writing justified, scoped suppressions for accepted findings. - Wiring nag checks into CI/CD so insecure patterns fail the build. ## When Not to Use - Terraform-only repositories without AWS CDK constructs. - Runtime or account-level posture checks, which cdk-nag does not perform. - Reviews of application code that never reach a CDK stack. ## Philosophy - Run compliance checks early in development, not at release. - Prefer fixing insecure resources over suppressing findings. - Use suppressions only with explicit, reviewable rationale. - Keep CI enforcement consistent with the risk profile. ## Deterministic Workflow 1. Add relevant cdk-nag rule packs to the app. 2. Synthesize stacks and collect findings. 3. Fix failing resources where feasible. 4. **Checkpoint:** If findings remain after step 3, categorize each as fix / suppress / defer before proceeding. Do not advance until every finding has an owner and decision. …

How to install
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/cdk-nag@sha256:b8e0ec96898c51e3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.e6369ee, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
