Description

S3 buckets should restrict public bucket settings to prevent accidental or unauthorized public exposure of objects. This also ensures bucket-level public access controls are enforced.

In CloudFormation, AWS::S3::Bucket resources must define Properties.PublicAccessBlockConfiguration.RestrictPublicBuckets and set it to true. Resources missing PublicAccessBlockConfiguration, missing RestrictPublicBuckets, or with RestrictPublicBuckets: false will be flagged.

Secure configuration example:

MyBucket:
  Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
  Properties:
    BucketName: my-bucket
    PublicAccessBlockConfiguration:
      BlockPublicAcls: true
      BlockPublicPolicy: true
      IgnorePublicAcls: true
      RestrictPublicBuckets: true
